aaaaarrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh! don't remind me
Indeed; why do you think tsx-11.mit.edu is named the way it is? TSX-11 was a timesharing version of RT-11 which ran on top of RT-11, which I used while I was in high school, so I named my workstation after it in homage to that quaint old system. When I put the Linux FTP site on my workstation, and later moved it off onto its own dedicated machine, the name tsx-11 followed it.
(I name all of my machines after Dec OS's and programs. For example, I'm currently typing this message on DCL, my Sparcstation 5. And my Laptop running Linux is RSTS-11. And my NT workstation machine, which I have to use for work? It's called ALL-IN-ONE. :-)
