Of course. ANY person who installs a new Operating System out of
his/her own free will is a geek.

Remember when Apple launched OS X Tiger and there were scenes at
computer stores that looked like the next Harry Potter release? Those
people were geeks, wouldn't you agree?

They care enough about their computer to go out and install their own
Operating System, then probably tweak it all the way to the moon and
back and debate it at length in their forums. Heck, they might even
complain about it on those forums! (Sounds familiar already? :)

You downloaded an Operating System, you ARE a geek.  Just not a very
determined one. :)

Cheers,
