Did you say you were using Linux since '93? Which distro?

Yes. Originally, we (end users) didn't use an actual distribution. We either compiled or downloaded bootable versions of the kernel and some accessory helper application programs, libraries and system/helper files.

I think the very first actual distribution I used was from Yggdrisil (sp). Then I changed to other distros such as Slackware, Red Hat and Debian (long before the days of Lenny and SID :) ). From there, I've tried various hybrids such as, custom, Studio64 Linux, Arch Linux and Ubuntu.

I run Slackware now and love it used to be a distro hopper But came back to one of my first. I used to run BSD back in the early 90s Minix, Bell Labs, Plan9,used to have to compile everything and then dd everything to your hard drive!
