I'm newbie in linux, only few times had taken look at it. I'm interested in your first linux distributions...

The first one I tried was Fedora Core 4 and the first one I installed was Debian.

And... What you can say abouth it? I've tries gentoo, it's too dificult for me... Now I'm in kubuntu linux distribution, trying it

The first linux I tried was Ubuntu, I'm currently working on it hehe. It's very pretty, and well, I haven't tried any other distros in the past. But I'm really happy with this one, and it has everthing I need. Windows is just a blurry shadow in the past.

Good luck!

Well , I'm don't really use linux though my first linux I've glimpsed was Knoppix linux , on a bootable CD!
guess anybody here wouldn't disagree with me that knoppix is nothing but plain crap. *sigh*
actually i did only use it when winXp had an epilepsy attack , lol
for the record , My first Unix session was on a FreeBSD system.

Netmaster

It was powerfull slackware , now I also have slack just ver. 11

Debian. It's also how I got into IRC, and a lot of other things - Including emacs, lisp, and that sorta thing. Who says Windows is the OS that opens the door to computing?

My first was SuSE linux, but, It wasn't to impressive.

Err, first one I had was suse but that was a stupidly old version and it wouldn't install properly so I guess that doesn't count. First one I tried was probably Red Hat 7.3...or perhaps 4, I forget when I first got it.

Now I'm with kubuntu distro and having problems with sound. All sounds perfectly plays exept mp3 on amaroK. need some help I don't want go to ubuntu forums because I found here friendly people and think they can help

My first linux distro would be Red Hat. After that I exchanged it for Debian.

ps. I'm not including the shells I've used before my first real linux experience.

The first Linux distro I had ever touched was some Finnish-made one... SOT Linux, I think...

Back in 2005, I installed Ubuntu and dualbooted it along with XP, used it for a few months until I didn't need it anymore (mainly I was just using it to play America's Army with much higher framerates ). I also experimented with things and so with it.

Just a few weeks ago I had to use Knoppix for 5 days while troubleshooting a certain hard disk problem. I had fun.

Hum, Red Hat... but that was a long time ago

First one was Mandrake... and didn't like it at all

Now I'm a happy Gentoo user

My 1st linux os was red hat.. now using fedora 6.
