Interesting.
I use Slackware, which seems to be the oldest distribution still alive today.
Started with it as they had a version, before CDs and DVDs, that fitted onto a 100MB ZIP drive and could run on a Windows file system which I didn't need to repartition. And if I had to change, it would be to the next oldest distribution - Debian.
Cheers,
Peter

Yes, I think that's right. I use the other oldie - Debian.
