I was wondering if there were any other Slackers out there!

I've still got my first Linux distribution, and possibly my first FreeBSD 
release too: I bought the Walnut Creek 4-CD box of Slackware 3.6 in a little 
shop in the West End of London, and a couple of years later, the boxed set of 
FreeBSD 4.5 from either the Linux Emporium or CheapBytes (can't remember 
which).
