After nuking my old install, I am in need of a hostname. Top comment chooses it.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

With a username like this, I’d give all my hosts and servers moon names. Like the moons of Jupiter (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto).
Most people here suggested meme names, but that’s actually a really great idea! And the names are pretty beautiful on top of that. I hope OP chooses this despite it being far from the top comment.
I’ll use this in the future! I really like the idea!
The Expanse itches
This made me go down a rabbit hole of server names and I now have a super long list of names from mostly Greek mythology that I’m going to use next time I have a chance
This is genius! Why didn’t I think if that before?
Alternately: PILF.
I’ve gone for colors for my servers and omelette ingredients for my VMs
Uuuuh, weird, I love it!

I’ve always been partial to “wintermute”. Not many people will get that reference these days.

Not quite.

Ummon would be pretty good too.
Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long long time
Really? I see it used in techie communities pretty often.
I understood this reference
moonleay is already fairly cool - maybe use that!?:-P
