What was the first ever distro you installed and used? For me, it was Mint as I seemed like the closest thing to Windows minus all the forced updates and chappy changes.
Currently on Fedora GNOME now but what about you? What made you choose your first distro diving into the world of Linux?
I wanna hear your thoughts!

I think it was SLS. I know it took a pile of floppies. At some point I made a tape to make it easier to install. Why I needed to install that often eludes my aging memory but those experiences still pay to this day.
From the SLS FAQ:
Our speciations were slightly lower then.
To this day I still don't upgrade OSes in general and I even evangelize "rip and replace" professionally so loudly that it's now enforced via policy at my workplace. This must be where my ethos for this practice originated.
