You know you're a geek when........

You know you're a geek when;

You boot up your computer hoping that ubuntu will have an update (and get really dissappointed when there isn't one)

Your family ask you to have a look at their xp machine and when they return, they have linux.

Guilty on both counts (actually, a liveCD to scare them ****less). I see you are using Feisty. Upgrade now ad you will have many updates. (actually, they seem to have tapered off in recent days, but you still get several a day.) And it is stable now (for me, anyways) EDIT: And get 64-bit for crying out loud! Unless you want WINE. Not in the 64-bit Gutsy repos yet. /edit

You know you are a geek when Sherlock Holmes mysteries bore you because they are too trivial.

You know you are a geek when you have created an AI that can solve said mysteries running on legacy hardware.

The other day my Calculus teacher was writing on a smartboard. He always uses the undo button at the top to fix his mistakes and such.

He was showing us how to do something on the white board and reached up to hit undo only to realize it wasn't there . Of course the whole class caught it.

Not exactly geeky, but related to the firefox tabs above.

I always want to use ctrl+f to find stuff in books.

Your a geek when you say this,

Tell your Calculus Teacher to remember to use the Pens for aligning the board with the projector and software. It provides a much more accurate point when writing.

Also, many don't know this, there is an alignment and Keyboard buttons on the SmartBoard Tray.

Lastly, Only one instrument at a time (using the red marker and the eraser at the same time doesn't work)

Just some tips from an HS Tech.

I'm not sure if this applies to well but oh well.
When you upgrade to the developmental release of your distro once they start releasing alphas!

Either you don't qualify, or you failed to update your profile.
EDIT: Much better.

You're a geek when the first thing you do after installing a Linux distro is getting Beryl and Emerald to work so everyone can see your kewl themes from gnome-look

Wow

*checks window to make sure no-one is there*
