Man I feel old.
Back in the beginning of 94 I got a CDROM w/ one of the magazines the included Debian and Slackware - don't remember the actual version, but I do remember both had a pre-1.0 kernel.
As I had some experience with non DOS OS (my primary OS at the time was OS2) I decided to give it a try.
From then on, I always had Linux in an old machine one way or the other (usually Slackware and later on, RedHat Linux) until I formally moved to Linux (both @home and @work) in ~2002.
Even though my business and home are both built around Fedora (and CentOS), I will always have fond memories of trying to manually configure the floppy drive and X on Slackware running on top of a 386 (SX!) and 486 machines.
