DEANMACHINE10 (Slackware file/web server), DEANMACHINE11 (windows 7 PC), DEANMACHINE9B (laptop in sig) and MASSENGILL (Parent's Vaio) - I started out w/ deanmachine001 several years ago - '04 or '05... Eventually I'm thinking of buying DeanMachines.com and building/selling custom-made, custom-environment computers and devices - like for certain sorts of jobs where the computer needs to be protected or built in a certain way... I dunno, just things I think about - don't think there's much money in building regular old desktops these days...

The name's Dean... Jeremy Dean...
<start action-movie music>
If this were facebook, I would like that status. But, this comment will have to suffice.

the only reason to name them is to run DNS and do any network services over DNS
so for example when I want to connect to my HTPC from my windows box I can just do this
\\htpc\movies or \\htpc\music
and then mount that share on my machines, naming conventions also make it easier to organize.

Well I eventually plan on building a system for a different purpose, then I could see the point in it, but as we only have 4 systems in the house, 1 per person, they are just named after the user:
Declan-PC
Justin-PC
Sarah-PC
Lotte-PC
So pretty easy to remember them on the current network, but once I've got another system or two up, then you can't really have Declan 1, 2 and 3, that would start getting confusing

yeah I have a Linux box HTPC, a dual G5, a macbook Pro, a Mac mini, and a gaming PC, so I name them all something since they are all networked and talk to each other.
