My host-naming scheme has, for some time, been autocrats. When I got a work laptop, and was told that
.vet puns weren't allowed, I opted for genghis, for fairly obvious reasons. Genghis has died, and a new machine (well, OK, same old machine, with new disk) will be arriving, hopefully, in about a week. I'm thinking about what to call it - Ögedei was the immediate successor to Genghis Kahn, but sucked somewhat (and I can't sensibly have Ö in a hostname); Kublai was the first successor who was any use, really (and was Genghis' grandson). So, a poll - what should I call the machine when it returns? If you think one option is the best one, but should be spelt differently, please vote for that option, and explain in a comment why my spelling is wrong![Poll #617940]
