I too started with Slackware, from the old InfoMagic compilations - I
can't remember the exact version, but it was the 2.0.x kernels.

Stuck to my guns right up until Slackware 11, but the temptress that is
Ubuntu lured me away, and I'm sad to say I haven't looked back.

Upgrading was a bit of a mission, especially when it came to the window
manager. Otherwise I enjoyed the challenge, and the stability, plus
having full control over the packages was refreshing.
