Because polls make you talk to me ;-)
I was talking to alitalf last weekend about customising computers to the way you work. He said that he tends to leave things as they are because it makes it easier when he's working on other people's computers.
On the other hand customising is one of the first thing I do when I get a new computer/install a new distro. My version of Firefox is probably changed enough to confuse most people who aren't me and right from the start I learnt to edit the .sys files on my original PC so I could change the splash screen you get on boot up.
I suspect a good part of my attraction to Linux is more settings to fiddle with. ;-)
So I wondered where you fell in the spectrum:
