In 2002 I installed Zipslack - running on a msdos partition. I can hardly believe they still release that version of Slackware.

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.
