I grabbed SLS off a BBS in mid to late 1993. I was 12 and had a 386 with 8mb of ram and a monochrome display. I didn't at all use X11 at the time, but I loved that I could switch between virtual consoles, had real multi-tasking, and had a C compiler. Funny side note... we had just watched Jurassic Park, which sparked a conversation with my dad about Unix. Dad mentioned that Linux was like Unix and was free. I had no idea Linux (or Unix) was a thing until this conversation, but I had to check it out. When I discovered that it had a C compiler... I was absolutely hooked. This was such a pivotal moment in my life and was a major contributor to my eventually becoming a professional programmer.
