My first distro. I remember buying a Linux Magazine that gave installation CDs as a bonus and had a quick walkthrough to install it.

I ended up deleting windows from my pc by destroying all partitions...It has been quite a ride :-)

Great story and brings back great old and recent memories! I recall the massive magazine rack at my local Fry's Electronics and was very glad to see that on a recent trip to Micro Center, they still have quite a selection in their newsstand / checkout aisle including the print editions [0] of Linux Magazine [1] which still includes free Linux distribution installer DVDs! Are you still using Slackware these days? As a daily driver? On a hobby box?
