What was your first Linux distribution?

I'm new to #Lemmy and making myself feel at home by posting a bit!
My first Linux distribution was elementary OS in early March 2020. Since then, I’ve tried Manjaro, Arch Linux, Fedora, went back to Manjaro, and since early January 2023, I’ve landed on Debian as my home in the #Linux world.
What was your first Linux distro?
Redhat, in 1997. A group at my college was burning CDs and giving them away, along with some "extra" goodies like whatever version of Enlightenment was new at the time, I remember being amazed by that. Or maybe it was just some E themes, don't remember exactly. I think Redhat still came with FVWM95 and maybe OpenStep. I spent so many hours editing those damned Xfree86 configs just to get basic VGA graphics to work.
