yea!!
Aw, Mandrake! I didn't know what I was doing back then and chose it because of the root. Stuck with it until Ubuntu came out a bit later.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My first distro was Yggdrasil
I honestly do not remember if I used SLS or Yggdrasil first. I know that I used SLS longest. I think I tried Yggdrasil in second and then went back.
I was all in on Red Hat when they came along but did move to Mandrake for quite a while (sweet i586 packages). It is all a bit of a blur after that but a fairly long Fedora stint. The only thing I never used much was Ubuntu.
