Re: what was the first linux distro you used
Technically, Knoppix....at the advice of a Geek Squad dude to recover my stuff from a Windows 98 home desktop that had crashed. First one I installed right after that was Mandrake from the box set I bought from Best Buy. I don't remember the exact year, but it was a long time ago.
