Honest question: Which country are you from and which distribution do you use?

I'm in the United States, and run personally and administer professionally.

What's the oldest distro you've used? What's your story using it?

For me, it was Red Hat Linux 6 in 1999. I purchased it from the software aisle for $40 at Stokes Brothers in Logan, Utah when my wife was going to school.

I booted off the live CD and played around with it a bit. Seeing the installation icon on the desktop, I thought it would install like other software onto my Windows 98 PC.

Of course, it wiped the boot loader and the Windows OS. I learned the value of backups that day.

@sparseMatrix I dabbled with Slackware a bit in 2001 due to a college friend recommending it. It didn't stick with me though. I think the only real thing I did with it, was create an RSS widget on my desktop for announcing new blog posts.
