I already have problems with the current cartoon naming scheme. It might be related to my age (Alzheimer is winking), but I do not really now why a host has to be named like a cartoon figure if the machine has just one single purpose/service.
A machine just needs a name - they're easier to remember than "server0312". Numbering is only really appropriate when you have a _lot_ of servers. As for the name, I can't quite follow the cartoon names either, Disney's jungle book was never on my list of must-read material, and certainly not in English.
Especially, if in the end a "ssh $service.opensuse.org" has the same effect as "ssh $cartoon.opensuse.org" - because nobody cares about the correct firewall rules.
Naming the machine after the service is okay, as long as there will ever only be one such service and the machine will only ever serve that one purpose. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.4°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner@opensuse.org
