I am a geek. 
At least my friends think so….
Got nothing worthwhile to do. So thought of writing a off topic post. Here are 5 reasons why I am a geek according to my friends. Get ready for the laugh riot…
- I use Linux – And 90% of my friends cannot find the head or tail of Linux ( They search for C:\, D:\ … ) and proclaim that Linux is only for geeks like me.
- My Windows XP desktop never looks like one – Somebody explain them that there are cool visual styles and icon patchers available for Windows.
- My music files have Album Art – What a big thing ! One says, OMG look music files contain pictures.
- I use Mozilla Firefox – Nothing to say here.
- I can install Linux myself - Big deal ? Huh!
BTW, this list can go on and on … Do your friends call you a geek ?

My case is almost the same.
1. I use FX. Ppl tell me (inc. our IT admin) say it’s bad! Many have not even heard of it before.
2. Ppl tell I visit ‘strange’ sites. Those sites include Google Reader, Flickr, blogs, etc..
3. What windows am I running? Is it Vista? After all I put in some cool VS!

Debian is cake. What most people find hard are distros like Gentoo.
