@nixiepixel not absolutely sure but I have memory of putting a suse from some cd that came on a computer magazine. I think I still had windows millenium so it was an early version. Remember vividly having lilo bootloader. My first experience destroying partitions and starting to learn about those things. Pretty sure it didn't install properly on the first try or how many hours or days it stayed after. But was not much time.

@nixiepixel it was SuSE 6.1 and I still have the box it came in.
