Heh, yes, it was very much a learning experience. My first experience with Unix-like systems was one of the early Ubuntu releases, Warty Warhog was the codename, spent days trying to figure out how to get my WiFi working. Or my first Gentoo install, which was my first time compiling a kernel. That was a grueling process. Had to go through it twice since I'd messed up something the first time through and then, of course, I had to spend a couple of days compiling a desktop environment afterwards. I always have a blast trying out a new system, though. :)
