How about I'm 57 and started with Red Hat Linux 5.0 in 1998 as my first
Linux install.  Before that I worked on HP-UX, Solaris (and when it was
still SunOS), CDCs, VAXen and IBM big iron.  I still have a punch card
around here some place.

I run CentOS or Scientific Linux on the boxes I need stable and Fedora on
more recent hardware or where I need something closer to bleeding edge. 
Dabbled with Ubuntu, Mint and Gentoo.  Didn't like them.

Cheers,
Dave
