As a teen when I first started using computer they were mainframes running Unix. (old man alert) My parents couldn't afford a mainframe for the home, so I moved on the the Apple //e, then on to IBM compatibles. Because I had learned on Unix command line I always like command line to run a computer. I went from a DOS 5.x machine to Windows 2000 machine! I hated and still hate the graphic user interface. I had heard about Linux, but computers took a backseat to my second career choice and never learned more about it. About two years ago, I was able to get a job using both my computer degree and my 'new' career choice, and was able to learn Red Hat, from the command line.
Someone download and burned DSL to a CD and I used it infrequently, but stayed with the Red Hat. We had a computer here at work that was doing nothing, and my supervisor wanted me to spend more time with Linux. So I downloaded DSL 1.5, reformatted the HD, and have been fooling around with DSL. I like it, even if it is a graphic desktop. I took an old home computer and use DSL on that now. I think it is a great quick and dirty OS/web server/ssh client, etc.
I will spend more time with it at home, at work we are building our own Linux for what we need, which is another story, but I do recommend DSL to friends that want to learn Linux. (One person didn't even know they were using Linux after I booted their computer with DSL when their computer crashed.)
So that is my DSL story.
