What was your first #Linux?

In 2001 my WinME crashed in the evening & it was clear I need to reinstall it! Everything was broken, but very important stuff was on the HDD!

Luckily l lived close to a gas station, which was opened that night & they were selling computer magazines.
So I went with my last money to the gas station & bought one with an #SuseLinux DVD (or CD) & was then able to download my important data.

This was the start of my Linux journey

So thank you @torvalds

#opensuse

@joergi Mandrake Linux. I got it from a kid at school that said it was free to give away. I then tried to install it on the family computer, and didn't understand what partitioning was. I proceeded to accidentally wipe the hard drive to install Linux.
