distros? what distros? My first Linux was the original tarball, using tools I had cross-compiled from Minix. I was also the Atari ST Minix and GCC maintainer at the time (1992 timeframe).
OK, my first actual distro was SuSE 5.1; the SuSE guys sent it to me as a gift. Apparently they were making a point of sending free subscriptions to major Linux contributors. I kept up with them thru OpenSuSE 10. I'm now using Debian on my web host, and Ubuntu on my laptops. I've found that I like aptitude a lot better than yast as a package management interface...
