I discovered Slackware Linux in 1995's summer with 1.0.9 kernel, still using a.out format and first support for non SCSI CD-ROM drives. Had to use the installation from a MS-DOS partition.

Already knew Aix and Xenix back then, but having UNIX at home was great and I became a bit too much FOSS Zealot.

Nowadays I use all OSes and the Zealot guy has been replaced by a pragmatic guy that uses whatever makes sense for the business.
