My first Debian install was 2.0. I ordered the CD's (there were 2, as I remember) from an on-line shop that sold burned CDRs with Linux images.

Yup. I don't have the pleasure of working with Linux at my current job nearly as much as the last one, but Debian was (and still is) my preferred distro for running servers.

Mine was Debian 3. Still running all my servers in Debian.

I always ordered mine from Walnut Creek!

Debian3, I guess your name gives it away.

My first was Debian 4. Ran it on a 550mhz PIII.

Mine was a Debian 5. Installed it on a small baremetal server for a client.

The client went away, and so did I.

Then some month ago, the client came back. The Debian 5 is still online and still running (but we plan to move on a new infra with a Buster soon).
