From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think it was Mandrake Linux for me.
It no longer exists though. ...I guess I'm old.
Wow, me too. I was expecting to have to create a post for it, didn't think anyone would have started there.
v6,1 here some 24 odd years ago
After the Mandrake merge with Conectiva - what an awesome distro that was before SuSE beat it to death with UnitedLinux shenanigans! - and the mandriva progression, it still lives on as either Mageia or OpenMandriva; but my favourite of its children is the PCLinuxOS offshoot of Mandrake.
