Check out the Announcements forum, and you'll see that I'm setting up a new computer. 

The computer is going to run VMWare, so it's basically going to be the supervisor-type machine. 

The name has to come from Pratchett.  My two choices are:

Vimes -- A duke, and the leader of the city's watch.  One of only two people to be taken off the list of targets for assassins, is a super cool character. 

Vetinari -- The patrician, ruler of the city of Ankh Morpork.  Very crafty, a trained assassin, also super cool.  The only other person to be taken off the list of targets for assassins. 

I'll choose whichever has the most votes.  If you happen to have something more relevant from Pratchett, let me know and I'll consider it.

In my opinion, Vetinari sounds much, much cooler!  Vimes is good too, though. :)

I'd name it after me, but Pratchett hasn't got around to writing about me yet, so name it Vetinari.
errr... something like that...

Vimes, because it remidns me of VMWare.
The writ of the founders must endure.

Blaze

Vimes, because the story is cooler.
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...

Jesus, Vetinari is kicking ass! 

I should make a brief list of Discworld characters and their importance so you guys can help me name the web/db/etc servers :)

I'll probably name the firewall Vimes (captain of the city watch). That makes sense!

I'll post more names later.

You should name one of your things Minsc.. cause he kicks total ass in Baldur's Gate 2.
Or Yoshimo.  Yoshimo's a thief, and he's stealthy.  And his traps fucking OWN. :D

Anyways, I've finally decided to go on a theme: discworld.

(SPOILER) I already knew.  Newby told me. :P  How I'll miss his lovely trap-setting abilities. :(

Yousux@theme.  Go Baldur's Gate/NWN! :D

Vetinari sounds like an animal doctor, but Vimes sounds kinda... strange. Like dimes.

Well, it's been named Vetinari. 

Thanks to all who helped!

What are these characters from?  Discworld?  What is that?

A series of books written by Terry Pratchett.  The best books ever written.
