    What was your first Linux distribution?

    What was the first Linux distribution you tried?

    My first was Knoppix, it was pretty good I thought, and it supported my old hardware Too bad I couldn't figure out how to install it at the time though.

    What about you?

    Mandrake for me. I had to build drivers to make my sound card and 'modem' work. It was a labor of love that has not stopped for over a decade.

    Red Hat 9.0 was my first dive into Linux and never looked back.

    Ubuntu was my first LInux distro. Can't remember the version. Now I am with Puppy Linux. Would like to get back to Ubuntu but beginning to fall more and more deeply in love with the Puppy.
