Since September 2000 when I was looking for an alternative to Windows to play around with. First started with Definite Linux 7, then Red Hat 6.2, 7.0, 7.1 and then Red Hat 7.3.
Still using Red Hat 7.3 on a 7 year old machine because I prefer the older distros to the newer ones. It's the original 7.3 installation too! Still solid as a rock after nearly 7 years withouth having to reinstall, and customised just to my liking, which is probably why I haven't upgraded cause I'm just so comfy with the way its set up and working now.
No possible way I would go back to Windows, but must admit, GNOME is getting more and more Windows like and Linux as an OS seems to be heading towards becoming more 'mainstream' rather than as a techie alternative. So I'm not actually looking forward to upgrading my machine and distro, as I've tried them and found them wanting.
