    Once had a fellow sysadmin who named his systems after the moons circling Saturn and other planets...God, what a mess. I mean, come on...telnet enceladus?!
    We the willing, led by the unknowing, have been doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much with so little for so long that we are now qualified to do just about anything with almost nothing.

    Naming servers can be a pain in the posterior, but a Sysadmin's toughest job is trying to maintain damage control after you turn the L/users loose on your systems...

    Mars is the Roman god of war and Ares (Aries) is the Greek god of war...

    I am kinda boring but most of the tim I name mine after the OS or proccessor and speed.

    Also one of the Systems admins toughest jobs are dealing with user that think they know more then you and then wonder why there computer wont work anymore.

    I always name my workstations after my favorite cities I've visited.

    My naming scheme is based on X-Men characters. All the machines I get to name at work are X-Men villains. My machines at home are all X-Men heroes. So I have beast (massive old tower that acts as my firewall), wolverine (my most powerful machine which is my desktop), gambit (which is my flaky alpha file server), morph (which is my honeypot and changes OS's occasionally), and rogue (my wife's desktop).

    Use comic book figures like from asterix/lucky luck.

    Otherwise choose roman emperors
