My first Linux distribution was Slackware 2.0, bought during 1995 Summer.

It came on a CD-ROM, whose contents I had to copy into the hard disk and start the installation from there, because IDE CD-ROM drives were mostly unsupported.

My monitor was 1024x768, but X could not do higher than 800x600 with my card.

Nowadays I have Ubuntu on my travel laptop, and still have hardware acceleration issues with its Brazos GPU.
