    MS DOS v4.somthing. (1995)

    Slackware that came on three 5.25" floppies. (1997)

    First hard drive Linux: Debian.

    Eventually red hat for several years, then back to Debian based (mint etc) around 2005. Been using Sid (Debian “unstable”) for a long time.

    I was limited to Commodore 64 at home through much of childhood, and windows 95 at school. My first personal machine was Windows ME, then first Linux was Kubuntu 5.10. Actually, probably technically Knoppix was my first Linux, but I was just experimenting.

    First operating system was DOS 4 or 5, I think. On big 5.25” floppy disks on an 8088. Unless we’re counting whatever was running on a commodore vic20.

    My first Linux distribution was Red hat Linux, somewhere around 1997, 1998 and I had a really tough time getting it installed.

    I also once had a trial version of os/2 warp. Which was fun but pointless.
