All my systems were/are named after locations in the Final Fantasy series, normally with a rationale for the naming.
Treno - my current desktop. It's always night in Treno; the case of the PC is black.
Bevelle - my old desktop, Luca - my mum's desktop, now broken. Both are Dell Precision 420, big old things. Bevelle and Luca are the two largest cities on Spira.
Zanarkand - my old old desktop. No particular reason for this name.
Midgar - an ancient Dec or something I once had. Midgar is at one point referred to as "that effing pizza"; the PC has a "pizza box" style case.
Esthar - a machine I was going to test the Hurd on (never did though). Esthar is a futuristic city.
Cleyra - an old Mac. Cleyra is a town atop a giant tree; Apples grow on trees.
Lindblum - an old Sun workstation. Lindblum is divided into multiple districts; the computer came with a separate external hard drive.
Garden - old laptop (now broken). Garden is a mobile military academy.
Trabiagarden - other laptop, older than garden but still working. Trabia Garden is another military academy, theoretically also mobile.
Joshua: Greetings, Professor Falken.
Stephen Falken: Hello, Joshua.
Joshua: A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?
what happened to using the names of cartoon characters or the seven dwarves?
(laughing) Time was that was all the rage once we got beyond cryptic strings of hex digits...
My laptop is currently named "debian." When it ran Ubuntu it was named "ubuntu."
This ancient pile of garbage is affectionately called The Other Computer, since most people in this house use my laptop. It crashes after a few minutes of playing flash games and makes a strange beeping sound, which means I need to clean dust out of the fan.
Distribution: Ubuntu 10.04 , Linux Mint Debian Edition , Microsoft Windows 7
