Grab a book, open it on a random page, put your finger on a line, read
the word. That's your name.

You place the IP address, fully-qualified-domain-name and host name in
/etc/hosts, e.g:


127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.1 server.your.domain server

The problem is not technical.... i need a name....

Since the server will store backup of other servers, it will have lots
and lots of diskspace.... i was thinking of naming it 'cartman'

First off, read ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc1178.txt (aka
ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/fyi/fyi5.txt ) then choose a name.

Things that have worked for me:
- themes (Disney movie characters, birthstones, TV characters)
- names from those "Name your child" books that most bookstores carry
- names associated to function ("fileserver", "systemlog", "datastore")
- names associated with form ("blackbox", "whitetower", "cube")

That would have been better stated as "what to name it" rather than "how to
name it" then.
