My first Linux was SUSE Linux in early 2000s. Then Slackware for a while, when I was still like Yeah, I will compile everything I need manually. When I was setting up my VPS I went with Debian, holy fuck the package repos were so good, I was upset with time I wasted in the past on compiling stuff manually on Slack.

Mandrake was my introduction to Linux back in 98, installed it on my Packard Bell Pentium 75mhz

Those machines were such a bitch when they locked the hardware to their hardware only.

I don't remember that being the case, maybe later models did that. They definitely weren't a standard case layout. .It was a hand me down bare bone. Put it together from a box of scraps I bought from a friend at school. I had tonnes of fun with it. Used to dial up to my friends house to play Diablo and Warcraft. That old 14k modem was slow!
