I get this (on Ubuntu Edgy):
stw at laptop:~$ LANG=C who -H
NAME     LINE         TIME         COMMENT
stw      :0           Nov 22 10:28
stw      pts/0        Nov 22 20:22 (:0.0)
stw      pts/1        Nov 22 20:24 (:0.0)


So, you :0 and :20 are the "lines" through which you are connected to 
the system. I'd guess root is logged in as root, and geoff is connected 
via X11 across the net? Maybe?

I would not worry too much...
