All my machines are named on some variation of David Bowie albums. Outside - my laptop, Blackstar - server 1, Stardust - server 2, etc.
Just my impression but there seems to be a slightly older crowd here.
Heroes by David Bowie always reminds me of underage drinking with my friends from high school for some reason.
My boss at the time (I was a writer for a tech magazine) asked me to review FreeBSD. I couldn't get it to install (at all) so someone suggested Linux (Slackware) which was an insane idea at the time around 1995 or 1996. Slackware sort of worked, no sound and I had to do various really annoying things to get it to see my modem (which never really worked). But something about it was interesting and I stuck with it.
I asked my doctor "You've done this before, right?" he didn't laugh.
I seriously thought this was a gag at first, sad.
It's not a ARM laptop. It's a dell inspiron 16 with a amd processor. Everything worked out of the box with fedora even the fingerprint reader so I"m pretty happy with it.
