#MyFirstDistro was Ubuntu 9.04, which I tried in my friend's laptop while mine (with Windows XP at the time) was down at the university's shop for repairs (back then, I couldn't even service a hard drive crash). My mind was immediately blown by this OS that was so different from Windows, yet so nice. A few months later, I decided to try on my own: Easy Peasy.
