Friend: What was your first Linux distro?

Me: Slackware back in 94.

Friend: Did you enjoy installing Slackware?

Me: Not really. On my first attempt, I lost my DoS partition. Then I couldn't get X running on. But, yes, apart from that, I loved it.

Friend: And you decided to stick around it for the rest of your life?

Me: *nervous chuckle*

Friend: Well?

Me: Why not? I already lost data, and it can't get worst than this. Lmao. So I kept my Linux, and the rest is history.

Slackware '99. Windows put itself into an irrecoverable state on my dorm computer, I lost a good deal of Data Structures assignment work. I don't think I had a CD burner at the time, so maybe I actually did install it via the mountain of floppies necessary...or maybe I had a zip drive? I don't recall. GNUStep is still the greatest desktpp dock experience IMHO
