Deciding Hostname Is Harder Then Changing Kid’s Name [Comic]

Deciding Hostname Is Harder Then Changing Kid’s Name [Comic]

What does it say:

A blue Linux terminal installer screen with a grey box that is labeled [!]CONFIGURE THE NETWORK in red. Below, in black, it reads “Please enter the hostname for the system”. Below is an empty blue entry box with a cursor and dashed underscore, and below this it says “GO BACK”.

A man sits at his computer, a woman stands behind him.

Woman: You’ve been staring at that screen a while.

Man: Picking a good server name is important.

Woman: And yet you settled on “Caroline” for our daughter in like 15 seconds.

Man: But this is a server!

-- Besides, I had to- you were trying to name her “epidural”

Woman: Those were good drugs.
