((A large panel the combined width of the four panels below it.))
[[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.
[[The woman stares at him.]]
[[She continues to stare.]]
[[The man pushes his chair back, puts one elbow on the back of the chair and points with his other hand at the screen.]]
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.
{{Title text: This hostname is going in dozens of remote config files. Changing a kid's name is comparatively easy!}}
