Simple question. Which distribution was your introduction?

For me, it was SLS Linux in '92-93, followed relatively naturally by Slackware, which was followed by Redhat.

As a kid in 1998, I installed Slackware to one of the two family computers. My parents were less proud than you might possibly think.

That's crazy. If one of my kids installed any Linux distribution on a computer, I'd be proud as hell.
