Simple question. Which distribution was your introduction?

For me, it was SLS Linux in '92-93, followed relatively naturally by Slackware, which was followed by Redhat.

Ha! I remember Funttoo. Was that the one that vowed to be completely open source everything? I was so pumped for that distro but then I checked back a year later and it was partnering or doing something with BIG Closed Source megacompany. I was like, "what the hell!". I really had high hopes for that guy and his endeavor. I might be thinking about something else. But after that, I was die-hard crunchbang as my daily driver. That thing was smooth until Philip put it to a close.
