Slackware. Diskettes circa 1995 on a an Acer P-100, 16MB RAM, 120MB 
Conner drive, 4X Sony CD ($220!). It was really ugly. Then got a 
Slackware CD from a book. It was uglier. It would boot and promptly 
crash, nver got it to work. That Acer also had that buggy CMD<?> IDE 
chipset. Then got RH 5.1. Sweet! :) (But I was still addicted to 
OS/2. ;)
