A Network of Ubuntu Muppets

I was sat at my PC tapping away at the keyboard when I heard Becky's voice from behind, "Who's Miss Piggy?" It took me all of a nanosecond to realise what she was talking about, but several minutes to explain away my new mystery girlfriend.

As it turned out, Becky had witnessed my connection to Miss Piggy first hand. She'd seen this floating on my desktop:

Terminal SSH session connected to misspiggy

I had to chuckle when I explained that I'd named the systems on my network after characters from the muppets. I then properly introduced her to misspiggy, gonzo and kermit — only for Becky to ask, "Where's Beaker?"

    Heh, I have some muppets as well - Kermit, Animal and I think I had a Gonzo for a while too.

    Awesome. I name mine after "Computers from Science Fiction". Using this as my guide:- http://popey.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ComputersInSciFi

    It's sad and geeky, but I do like that my wifes computer is called "mother" and mine is "wopr". Seems appropriate somehow.

    I've been through a few themes for naming my boxen but I have to say that naming your's after Muppets characters is brilliant. I'm in my "naming after bodies of water" phase. Desktop is Adriatic, HTPC is Caspian, and so on.
