My first trial with Linux was at the end of the nineties with Red Hat Linux, I still have the installation CD somewhere, it came as a magazine cover CD. Not too long after that I installed Mandrake Linux and was very impressed, I think it was version 5 or 6, I stuck with that for quite a while. My next one was Suse Linux Professional, I loved that and stuck with it until Novell gave it up and it became OpenSuse.
After that I've pretty much hopped between distro's and not been stuck to one in particular. All of these have been dual boot with Windows which I still do now.
I use what I find most suitable for the task at the time, I use Bodhi Linux on a couple of machines, Antix, Damn Small Linux and various incarnations of Puppy Linux gets used on some old PC's, and now 3 of my systems have Linux Lite on them including my main PC.
I also have a few machines running Amithlon and X-Amiga, both of which use a custom Linux with a Gentoo 2.6 kernel to boot the Amiga system and Workbench so I'll include them as Linux machines.
