My friend got me Knoppix live cd saying "It's a Linux distribution, a different OS and you don't even have to install it". It was first year of my Engineering and I barely knew anything about UNIX/Linux. But that was the starting point. I started using the live CD regularly and started reading stuffs about Linux, UNIX, Shell & PERL scripting. Soon I found myself in love with all of these.

Installed Ubuntu as my primary OS. But it was too simple for a geek (no offense) who wanted to dig deep. Installed Fedora and that was my primary OS for 4 years while I was experimenting with RHEL/CentOS, OpenSolaris, FreeBSD, UnixWare anything that runs on x86 platform.

My first encounter with AIX happened at work. Just love poking around things, so I have my virtual infrastructure set up at my home.

I think most of the UNIX/Linux folks of my age started with Ubuntu or Knoppix. Smilie
