What was your first distro?

[Tessius]

Hmm I don't know if I should say...Alright I'll go out there and say it. Red Hat Valhalla >.>

[Creeper]

Always Innovating OS, it was crap.

My first linux distro was Crunchbang, man you can't imagine the amounts of fun I had on it. Trying to get random games to run on it etc. Also Battle for Wesnoth was epic.

Crunchbang is a nice light version, I ran it on an old shitty computer which used to have windows xp on it.

I install ubuntu now on most of my new computers now a days.

[Programmer]

Ubuntu. ( Back before shitty Unity & GNOME3. )

I think Arch is harder to get working in a VM than on real hardware (at least in the version of VMware I tried).

[Robbi]

Arch, that's how I got hooked. Currently using Fedora on my PC and laptop.

mine was some veration of "red hat" that was extremely outdated dual botted with winows 200 and 98 when i was 7

[TornadoChas3r]

Ubuntu 7.04, had it running on an old desktop machine as a web server, first time playing around with Apache. I stuck with Ubuntu for a while before trying out some other ones like FreeBSD, OpenSuse and CentOS.

So you're using Windows 2000 and Red Hat now?

Ubuntu 10.04

[12voltsdc]

Ubuntu Desktop, Dual booted nearly 2 years ago.

[Foxconn]

Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal.

It felt great to have my first Linux distro on my self-built computer.

And it felt a bit worse when i have screwed it up one hour after installation. :p

[MasterFen007]

Ubuntu 8.10, soon switched it out for Linux Mint 7 and onwards. Usually now I just stick to Arch.

[:smugspike:]

Kubuntu in 2007

all of my regret :v:

[weenus]

It was some SimpleMEPIS version back in '04?

[tschumann]

A 2004 or 2005 version of Mepis.

[QUOTE=:smugspike:;35436979]Kubuntu in 2007

all of my regret :v:[/QUOTE]

Ugh, I've tried KDE before and I just don't get the appeal.

[:smugspike:]

I agree! There's just something about it that has that 'wrong' feel, y'know? :v:

[Van-man]

KDE reminds me of something targeted for kids.
Even Gnome feels more right, and I hate that too.

[:smugspike:]

I'm actually starting to dislike gnome, I'm going to try one of it's branches like Cinnamon.

[Bananas21ca]

Some crappy slackware based distro way back in the day. Needless to say I went back to windows until Ubuntu appeared on the scene.

Now I'm a Debian guy.

[Denzo]

Knoppix. I hated it as soon as I started using it.

[tangofizz77]

I cant wait, waiting for the day that Linux becomes a partnered OS with computer brands, that way the consumer market will buy computers preloaded with Ubuntu, and the team will just take off like a bird ;)

[Takkun10]

Ubuntu 7.04

Really crazy to think back about 12 year old me reading about linux and wanting to try it on my duct taped up computer that I scavenged together from a ton of old parts.

[:smugspike:]

my friend has this shitty little netbook of some unknown brand that would be perfect for a linux device, yet he only wants Windows Vista Home-Premium on it. :v:

[The Anarchist]

I think mine must have been Fedora. Shortly after, I used Ubuntu, and then swapped to Arch.

[Fuxed]

Gentoo! Then some Fedora spinoff, then *buntu, finally settling on glorious Debian.
