I recall messing with Linux 1.1.59 briefly on a friend's laptop back in '94
More recently, on my own machinery, I've experimented with various versions of Slackware, RedHat, Turbo, Suse, WinLinux, Caldera, Mandrake, and maybe Debian.
The Linux experience has certainly changed. I recall having to compile kernel in order to get half the hardware in a system to work...nowadays it's often the reverse; recompiling tends to completely b0rk the system.
I haven't kept a system running [Linnicks | Lyenicks ] for more than a couple weeks in quite some time...
Mostly I'm experimenting with compatibility, dual-boots, etc.

But for everyday use, I'm one of the many who have outgrown Linux and moved on to BSD.
