I can upvote this one in spirit. I started with a distro based on Slackware around 1998. I tried different ones like Mandrake, but went back to Slackware for a while. Then I tried Debian 2.2 in the early 2000 and stayed with it ever since.

I do have other distros installed on other computers, but I usually prefer those based on Debian.

    I presume anyone old enough to start with slackware without auto dependency management and then use apt had a similar experience. I did :)

    Apt blew my mind. It was becoming increasingly difficult to install and maintain a lot of software on Slackware, just for my personal computer. So when a friend showed me Debian and apt, everything was suddenly much much easier.
