I was aware of Linux, but did not try a distro until SLS (Soft Landing System). It was distributed on a pile of 3.5" floppies, and booted from a floppy too. I moved to Yggdrasil (running from CD-ROM) to get the benefit of a full install with X and development tools in an era when the 650MB CD-ROM had three times the capacity of a high-end hard drive.
