My first introduction to Linux was a whole issue off Boot Magazine dedicated to it, including two CDs and instructions on how to use it. I ran out of things to play with and said "cool toy but Meh." That was in I think 98?

I started with FreeBSD, having seen it mentioned on the ftp.cdrom.com MOTD while looking for Doom mods. I don't remember when that was, but looking for Doom mods was a thing people were doing so, you know, the stone age. I switched to linux relatively late, Best Buy was selling shrinkwrapped Red Hat and Suse boxes by then.
