Technically, Knoppix....at the advice of a Geek Squad dude to recover my stuff from a Windows 98 home desktop that had crashed. First one I installed right after that was Mandrake from the box set I bought from Best Buy. I don't remember the exact year, but it was a long time ago.

Slax - around about 2003 and then a beta of Mepis a week or so later.

First time I started it way back then and heard: "Initiating startup sequence", I knew that Linux was cool.
