What's the oldest #Linux 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.
