How about Columbia or Challenger? I know most of the other servers have been named after Sci-Fi characters, but the Shuttle program is drawing to a close, and those seem like good names to use. Future servers could also be named after other famous real life space vehicles. If you don't like those and want to stay on the Sci-Fi theme, then Enterprise would also be a good name. |

One has already been designated as Oscar Possibly... But there must be other Oscars or associates of an Oscar. Or how about: Osrac Scaro Rasco Oracs ? Keep searchin', Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

vader is a last name; most others are first (or only) names. I always thought Vader was an only name (like Sting or Madonna), as I have always considered "Darth" to be a title or honorific of some sort, as evidenced by his predecessor being Darth Maul. (odd that my spell check doesn't know "Darth" but knows "Vader"... weird) ![]() |

I know this is not in the theme of things, but if you're replacing Mork, it seems to me the new name should be Mindy. ![]() |
