I just checked and it was 1996 for me as well. I started with DLD and a 2.0 kernel. Man, those were hard times. There was no internet, I could only dial into a BBS, where I could chat with people who were using Linux. If I had problems setting up dial-up? Well... Also getting a printer to work still haunts me to this day.
