Do you guys have any scheme for naming your PCs?
I'm doing fresh installs on all my boxes and was trying to figure out what naming convention to use. I used to name them after planets (most used would be earth, phone would be moon, server would be Jupiter, etc)
What do you guys do?
>>55678848
planets or mythical gods
old polytheistic gods
