I got started with Linux in that year. I think I did red hat 5.1 and then Debian 2.0. A few years later I tried openbsd 2.6. The distros were too big for dialup, and Red Hat was charging a lot (or seemed like it for free software) for CDs in a fancy retail box. But there was a website "cheap bytes" that would burn CDs of distros for about $2. I remember my apt-get dist-upgrade to Debian 2.1 because it took forever on dialup.
