    Neither existed when I installed Linux the first time.

      When was this? Arch Linux was initially released in 2002, about a year before I tried knoppix for the first time.

      What was your first distro, unless you used Linux before distros, if so what was your first installation experience like?

          Wtf reading about this, such a weird system

          Linux running on top of a mach micro kernel, kind of like paravirtualized. And then the userspace and xfree86 ran on linux? And FVWM? How was that?

          And then you could run Lisa apps?

          I didn’t use knoppix a lot, but I did use Mandriva more, and then Ubuntu was released and I daily drove it back then
