   #myfirstdistro was #Slackware in 96 or 97. I was going to school for CS, and even thought I bought a C compiler for my Amiga, it was too different to use for school assignments. A classmate introduced me to the idea of trying #Linux . I picked up Slackware because it sounded neat. It took me 3-4 days to get #Xwindow working on a Compaq laptop, but I got it working, and that was the start of my long journey with Linux. Slackware teaches you a lot about how Linux works.
