Ubuntu vs Mac OS X in Veronica Mars

I happened to come across an interesting and probably the geekiest conversation in the TV series Veronica Mars [www2.warnerbros.com]. The conversation is from the Episode 18 of Season 1, and is an argument between Pete, a male geek, and Cindy, a female geek:

Pete: Wait, how can you even have an opinion on Ubuntu if you haven't tried it? Two six kernel, Live CD, they even had GNOME 2.0 the day Warty Warthog came out.
Cindy: I'm sorry, I'm perfectly content with OS X. I have all the awk/grep-ance that I want without any need for that pitiful font de-uglification.
Pete: But the fonts are de-uglified, and it's free! You know, fine, you know, living in the dark ages.
Cindy: I know what I like! And I like what I know.

I counted about 9 geek terms here if you want to fully understand the conversation: Ubuntu, Two six kernel (2.6), Live CD, GNOME, Warty Warthog, OS X, awk, grep, font de-uglification. (^_^) How many do you know?
