[[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.

Woman: Those

good drugs.
