C64 Basic, Yggdrasil Linux. I wanted to install Minix, in the pre-Linux times, but it was beyond my abilities

Atari 800 basic.

Gentoo was the first distro I used for any significant amount of time (college).

Windows 98. Later the first Linux distro I tried was Mandrake Linux but I didn't really get into it until later with Crunchbang.

My first OS was DOS 5.0, I switched to linux with Fedora core 6

I had a Debian PC for a while, it was more of a project. IT work still revolved around Windows back then. Later I discovered Puppy Linux and ran that on a live USB. I encrypted the hard drive in my work laptop and never had to worry about anything making from the USB to my work data. Not a bad way to live, only had to carry around one laptop when I traveled for work.

My first OS was Windows 98.

Linux distro was Ubuntu 6.0.

Amiga back when you booted off floppies.

Then I guess ms-dos for pc.

For Linux I got a box set for redhat from compusa in 99 and learned from there.
