How you scored

0-20: The road is long, grasshopper, with many a winding install disc. Our blessings with you on your journey.

21-50: You're showing solid progress - try reading some of our tutorials to learn more!

51-70: This is more like it! You know your RPM from your elbow, and tweaking xorg.conf is child's play.

71-89: Serious geek territory: you're a bona-fide Linux expert. You're probably multi-booting six different distros, all with recompiled kernels, and you're planning to install Linux on your fridge.

90: Hey, Linus! We were just kidding that you wouldn't know all these answers, you know...
