At the time, I bought a boxed copy of 7.0 at Wal-Mart of all places. That was my first introduction to Linux. Mandrake was easy enough that I could fumble through and learned a ton in the process. Grateful for its existence and the fact that they had a retail version for someone without reliable Internet access at the time

Same. I still have my copy of Mandrake 7.2.

At the time I used Slackware and Red Hat which definitely required tweaking at least xorg.conf and more.
