I'll also look at SSH configuration thanks to Paul's suggestion.
That's the route I take. I have shorter, easier to remember names for all the systems I use, mostly just one word names which are the first field of the domain name.
Then, in addition, I have some clever (?) stuff that sorts out whether I'm connecting locally (across the LAN) or remotely to a couple of systems. Thus I can just type 'ssh esprimo' to conenct to my desktop system at home whether I'm using a laptop downstairs or I'm away from home somewhere.
Finally I have local DNS on the LAN at home so all systems are accessible by their name alone when on the LAN.
