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 @torvalds around 1997, had a flat with three roommates and an ISDN line. Put a 486 in the hallway with an ISDN card and installed suse Linux as a router. Worked like a charm - besides terminating the line - which led to slightly higher telephone bills.
