Slackware was my first distribution! One of my sister's friends came over and installed some 7.x release and left me on my own to configure xfree86.
Needless to say, for my first time using linux, it didn't work out. But a short time later I was dual booting mandrake & slackware 8.1. Ahhh...the sweet nostalgia of gnome 1.4.
Youngin's these days don't have any challenge left. Now where's my cloud to yell at? And why are you on my lawn?!
