I was lucky; my initiation was with Ol 2.2.  The Corel linux newsgroup 
was very friendly and considerate, and when CLOS folded a number of its 
users migrated to Libranet, where the friendly community continued.

I've dabbled with other OS's on and off.  SuSE was pretty good, but 
after 6.4 it seemed to be getting a bit sloppy.

I've just installed Fedora 7.  I had to use another distro to create a 
logical partition for it since its utility seemed unwilling to install 
in other than a primary partition.  I have managed to get my sine qua 
non app - WP 8.1 - to run on it after some leaping through flaming 
hoops.  (If anyone is interested I'll post my how-to.)
