For LAN servers, I used to name my Linux machines after penguins. It seemed apt, made me smile, especially when new people came on board.

The Windows and Solaris boxes had numbers before i got there. A new guy started moving them to a name that included the os version like 'server-2008' in it. Never really liked that
