Folks,

At this meeting, there was a proposal for more memorable names
for our machines at meetings.  Presently, the five hundred odd
hostnames are generated:

    ip-192-168-146-42.meeting.humbug.org.au

To start with, I'll to use the table of the elements (helium,
lithium, etc).  What other long list of proper names should I
use?

This would give people more memorable hostnames, an they will
be reasonably stable (learn more about DHCP for the fine print,
notice that a client may sugggest the IP address it wants).

Yours sincerely,
