View Poll Results: What was your first Linux distro?
Started with Caldera 1.4. Kernel 2.0 something, KDE 1.0 around 1998, I believe. On a P-133mhz system with Win98 on it. I had to manually install KDE which was fun...
My very first was ubuntu live cd this past may. I had no Idea what i was doing. The first distro I installed wasn PCLinuxOS .93 It was very user firendly, too user friendly. Then went to Debian Sarge in late August, and Etch in Dec when I got a new video card
My first Linux was SuSE 9.1. I stuck with SuSE until version 10.1 had the borked-up package manager. I then switched to Gentoo as it is the one distro that if you can't do something in that it can't probably be done in Linux.
