Help! Arch is turning me into a nerd!

I've had a slice of my hard drive dedicated to playing with linux for a little while, and one night I thought I'd dive into it and meander.  Then a few days go by and all I can think of at work is coming home to my computer!  Kinda feels guilty when I'm glad to have some time alone at my comp when my girlyfriend is out

I'm gonna go back to quietly nestling in pacman and AUR repositories ...

And thanks to all on this forum!  You've all been a great, great help and I'm comtributing all I can

Lates,
Max the nerdometer

I'm glad you're enjoying it. It's always nice to see linux reverse the hatred for technology that closed source software seems to foster.

btw, your avatar is the freakiest thing.. I think I might have to stop reading your posts or I'll get nightmares!

I just push linux on as many of my friends as I can. Those who aren't repulsed are friends still. Women Included.

There shouldn't be any reason to learn more editor types than emacs or vi -- mg (1)

Nerdiness != Geekiness

Unless you're a trekkie (sp? I don't care), then you're a nerd. Nerd. (J/K)

Nerdiness != Geekiness

Quite: Speccy != Techie

I go to great pains to highlight this to people, although you can be a geek and a nerd, they are not mutual exclusive.  I am a geek, but not a nerd, e.g. generally I suck at Math...
