Mine was Knoppix because back in the day Libraries used to let you borrow all sorts of computer software and games and that's what they had and I was stuck on dialup lol

Red hat (in '99). I chose it because it was included on the disc that came with an IT magazine I bought at the time

I moved to Linux From Scratch a few years later, then to Debian. I have been on Debian based OSes since then, I like Mint at the moment

Knoppix was my favourite recovery and rescue live CD
