The computer you're looking at web pages off of right
now is actually named
Doujima.
Doujima is a multiuser Linux
machine, serving files/web pages and servicing console applications. The
Linux Documentation Project
Homepage describes a lot about this freely available
GNU-licensed operating system.
This server was put together as an experiment, repository, and depository of
data. As the owner is an avid programmer, many programming experiments go on.
It's a repository of data and images for friends and family, and a place to
dump data wherever the owner and friends of the owner may be on the 'net.
Doujima is configured mostly as a workstation/server for the console and remote users. Due to (usually) vast amount of unused diskspace by wise removal of unused data, there's usually quite a lot of space free.
Oh... and why was Q named Q? Well first off, this hostname is borrowed from another computer whose name is really Q! Ok, now that we got that straight, No, the owner isn't a Star Trek fan, but it did influence the final name. A single character name was wanted for the machine: the name "multiplex" was its original name, but it got boring typing 9 letters so it was decreased to one. And Q (originally meant as Queue... sounded like a better name than "X" or "A" or .... ;)
