Mine was Knoppix because back in the day Libraries used to let you borrow all sorts of computer software and games and that's what they had and I was stuck on dialup lol

First was technically knoppix because it had a live boot cd function. That didn't go well. There was some kind of bug where it murdered the bios on my pentium2 and I was unable to recover the system, bricking the computer.

First time I was able to fully install and use was ubuntu warthog... So that's what... 4.10? I think so.
