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.

I'm kind of stuck with Redhat (or CentOS, or now Rocky or something) because I support them at work, and work is standardized on Redhat.

I've got an Ubuntu box at home, and my main personal PC at home runs Fedora.

It's funny, this post has me thinking about what made me stick with RedHat/Fedora. Debian was great, but for some reason I just felt like there was a level of friction that I didn't have with RedHat. I want to say that it was related to setting up X, but I could be wrong. There are so many great distros out there, but I am so accustomed to the RedHat/Fedora "feel" that I can't move to anything else at this point. At this point, I've been pretty much RH/F for over two decades, rapidly approaching three.

At my old job I set up a couple of Debian servers, but used Fedora on my workstation/laptops. My new job is all Windows.
