Not the oldest, indeed. When i was searching for my first linux distro i read a few article and understood that debian is most flexible and user friendly. Important fact for me that the most linux servers running on Debian. I think if i will know debian well my job searching will be easier.
Maybe only Red Hat can be equal debian:)

Debian has admin tools for working with Android devices and can flash smartphone ( for example, remove google, geo apps etc) even better than windows.

Apologies, my mistake. I confused myself with when I first got a computer ... it came loaded with a floppy disk version of Windows.
It was Ubuntu version 6.06 that came in the magazine.
I'd totally forgotten, thanks.

In your personal opinion and you are entitled to your personal opinion.

For the record, the "macro capability" I was thinking of is dbus, or the KDE predecessor of dbus, with a similar name (iirc) -- one letter followed by "bus".

red hat 5.2 compiled by my older brother

My first distro was Red Hat Linux 6.0 back in 1999, and then Mandrake, SuSe, Fedora, Mandriva, CentOS, SME Server, OpenSuSe, Debian, Knoppix, Ubuntu, LinuxMint and Red Hat Linux Enterprise.

All I can say for certain is that it was early 2000s.
I'm not really sure what the first distro was I tried but I can remember that I installed Ubuntu the first time around 2005-2006.
