A Momentous Decision

Most of my systems are network connected so they get names allocated, but
sometimes the names reflect their usage. So the first network gateway box
is called kerberos but the other gateway is adslgw. When I'm thinking about
them I tend to say "I'm off to work on the Windows box, the Linux box, the
VAX (even though it's an alpha whose host name is nimrod) and so on.
