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.

My brain did the math before I could stop myself.

~30 years. Now I feel old.

Jk, I always feel old.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Better old than foolish, that's what I say. Kids these days…

I'm almost to 30 myself. Started in 1994. If it weren't for those dang kids I wouldn't feel so old :)
