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.

S.u.S.E. Linux 5.2 in 1998. Didn't use Linux full time then, but S.u.S.E. got me acquainted with my future OS.

Gentoo, fall 2004, first a stage 3, then a stage 1. Learned SO MUCH from doing that!

A PowerPC version of Ubuntu (I forget now the exact version or year but it was sometime around 2005ish) that I ran from a live CD on my G4 Mac Mini.

First I actually installed and used seriously was Ubuntu 12.04 on an old PC.

Mandrake Linux 6.5. At the time I was drawn to it because they had a version that worked with the sims game.
