#2 is impossible. Everyone knows you cant have a penguin for a pet.

For me personally, "you have had to much linux when you try to convert everyone around you."

You know your addicted when each day starts with tweaking your system and
ends with you tweaking it some more! I've been running different distributions
for about 5 years now and (I'm not kidding) EVERYDAY I learn some new cool thing that I can play with. Of course it helps that it's open and things change by the minute. And just so you know, I checked with tux, sorry everyone, but tux says no the inter-species relationships.

This forum has grown so big. As an aside I wonder if there are any Romance/Love Affairs from people meeting at this site ? Linux brings people from far away together. Perhaps this is the topic for another thread. Besides, even if there were, they might prefer to keep it a secret/private.

I am sure that love life is mating season, but the problem with echats is that when you think you are talking to sexy female, you are talking to a gay man, and when you think you are talking to a chipendale you are probably talking to a woman out for a laugh.
TCP-IP rejects bad packets, but it does not reject a joke recieved as a lie.

You know you're addicted when you work at a software company that writes software for the Windoze platform only and all your co-workers harass you about linux. Everytime I get a new gadget or see something electronic someone will ask me "are you gonna try to put linux on it?"
