    Mine is named Genesis.
    Not for religious reasons but for the fact that the band Genesis is my favorite one and one of their CDs was playing while I set my new PC up for the first time around christmas last year.

    Aslan: What a coincidence... My main desktop is called Adam and my gf's desktop is called Eve. But then my router is called Metraton and my laptop Lucifer.

    Oh and i had Noah, an old desktop turned linux server. But it's kinda dead right now and it would take some time and money to bring it back to life.

    All those computers are part of a workgroup called eden.

    Yeah, it's from the Bible but i'm not that religious.

    So, if it takes you three days to get the Linux box up & running again... (Maybe I shouldn't joke like that until after the storm season down here )

    I once knew a girl who had a red Camero named Pol Phot.
    She named her car after the genocidal madman who ruled Cambodia?

    It was well punned, but this was my original thought as well.
