Friend: What was your first Linux distro?

Me: Slackware back in 94.

Friend: Did you enjoy installing Slackware?

Me: Not really. On my first attempt, I lost my DoS partition. Then I couldn't get X running on. But, yes, apart from that, I loved it.

Friend: And you decided to stick around it for the rest of your life?

Me: *nervous chuckle*

Friend: Well?

Me: Why not? I already lost data, and it can't get worst than this. Lmao. So I kept my Linux, and the rest is history.

@nixCraft Mine was SUSE when it became clear BeOS was doomed. Mostly fine, but I remember trying to configure their equivalent of the Start menu and my GUI expectations were decidedly Not Met.
