        I think Slackware from a Walnut Creek cd that someone acquired. I did not do much with it though just tinkering at the time.

                  Should I be concerned that I still remember the server specs?

                    I first started with Ubuntu I believe it was 7.1.

                    I've been in an on again/off again relationship with the OS ever since.
