Naming schemes

Revision as of 01:42, 20 March 2013 by imported>Mjh

Naming schemes are used when dealing with a number of objects which need memorable names, e.g. servers. Choosing names that are all related helps ensure the names are not difficult to remember. The process of picking a naming scheme can be a slow and difficult process often delaying work, so below is a list of naming schemes to help make that process easier. Most of these were collected from #vtluug but others may have been added later.
