I'd be way more worried about NetBSD users (or even more so AIX users, if we forget about OSS), the ones I've known were scary

Oi! I happen to be one of those people! I know NetBSD is a bit of an oddball, but it's about the closest thing to a real modern operating system for my Commodore Amiga :-)

Slackware was the first distro I really liked. Having used Irix for a couple of years before I really got into Linux, Slackware was the nicest transition as it was way more "Unix-like" than pretty much every other distro I tried back then. Now days it's just CentOS and Ubuntu

I miss the excitement of installing Linux. It actually felt like you achieved something if you got Slackware up and running from floppy, fired up the TCP/IP stack and connected to the net via dial-up with SLIP/PPP, recompiled the kernel to get all of your hardware working and then finally managing to run XFree86 to browse the web using Mosaic without blowing up your monitor.
