First install was Fedora core 6 it came with like 5 or 6 cds. This would have been mid 2000s I was mostly using it offline and then reinstalled windows so I could game on the lan with AoE and cossacks. (I had 2 PCs beside each other)
The in 08 I installed Ubuntu , 4 years later was Debian and ive been at home with Debian since.
Its been great to see the improvements over this time particularly in gaming.
