Geek/Linux cat names suggestions

**retoon** · 03-11-2003, 12:55 PM

Oh, I am not a geek, Im a nerd, theres a difference. Geeks know alot about things that noone cares about, and that aren't important. Nerds know alot about things that no one cares about, but are important. Whether they be computer nerds, biology nerds, history nerds, or automotive nerds(hehe). And about the female thing, most people don't expect to get lucky over a forum. Especially not with someone who said that they are in a relationship with some one else.

How about "root" (boy cat) or "sys" (girl cat)

or some others:
redcat (if the color is right)
gnucat (newcat)
Gentoo (sounds kinda catty)
DO NOT use SCO (no need to be sued by a cat)
linus (for a smart cat)
tux (hmmm, I like that one)

This is fun

another ...google

Cats tend to name themselves. Keep all of these names in mind and then decide after you get the cat. Some name will fall into place.

My first 2 cats were 95 ad 96, the last two digits on their tags. After a while 96 became Big Guy and, unfortunately, 95 was killed by a dog before he let me in on his name (that's him in my avatar doohickie over there on the left.).

My 2 current cats are Lucky and Scaredy Cat. Other cats I've had, based on their dispositions, were Zoomer, Stormy, and Momma Cat.

I like the tarball idea also, but your new cat will let you know soon enough.

regards...

BIOS?
If he's got big ears, you can call 'im floppy.
Caldera?
Mandrake?
If you're into PPC's, call 'im Yellowcat.

tarball is great! especially if its a black cat.

**JesseJames** · 03-11-2003, 08:32 PM

Me likes tarball aswell.

This is nearlly as bad as somebody else on a different forum who names there children after characters from an old computer game (Space Quest, see the link in my signature labelled "Roger Wilco's Virtual Broomcloset" for THE fan site about the series. If you have played space quest and enjoyed it join the forum... could do with some more people to argue about how good linux is

)

Tony Gonzales -(fixed) male, sweet, friendly, long-hair, black; lap cat - also named after an LAPD Officer

Morris -(feral male) orange tabby, fighter, that my youngest daughter somehow made friends with and now it won't leave, his face is full of scars and fresh fighting claw wounds, loves to pi$$ on doors

Buttons -(fixed) tortise-shell female, long-hair, SHE RULES THE YARD -even bosses Morris around -kittens with Morris before fixing

Lolo - male (soon to be fixed), orange tabby (son of Morris) handled since birth -sweet as can be -mighty hunter of grasshoppers and sparrows

Pepper - (fixed) long-hair gray and white, captured as 8-week old feral kitten; very stupid as cats go but equally sweet, neurotic -can't stand to be outside, knocks on door/screen and cries constantly with loud pathetic meeeeaouw! to come in, loves to be held and sleep with people but pees on bedding, does not always land on feet if tossed, will tolerate being spun in bowl until sick -=please, somebody adopt this cat from me!

I tend to really geek out on my cats names.

Faraday
ohms
Newton
and Daisy (named after Daisy Buchannon in the Great Gatsby)

**retoon** · 03-13-2003, 12:10 PM

I still think Solaris is a good name for a cat.

i vote for that!

I vote for Tarball, it sings..

this one was named regis prior to us adopting him.

**myshkin** · 03-14-2003, 04:09 AM

i like solaris.

**Anomaly** · 03-14-2003, 05:23 AM

Whatever it is, Make sure its pretty short. Long names are harder on cats while training...
I like cli (klee) Tarball is ofcourse good.
Also how about IRIX?

I like LILO, I think I will name my next cat lilo

A friend of mine named his dog SPARC.
