Same here, started with Slackware 2.0 in 1996, already knew other UNIX systems given that I was a bit further along (at the university).
It was Slackware that gave me the opportunity to play with something UNIX like at home, but then as UI/UX focused developer I followed a different path of desktop friendly distributions, Red-Hat, Mandrake, SuSE, Ubuntu, to eventually settle in Windows/OS X on desktop systems.
But yeah, learned a lot. Knowing Linux deeply helped getting some of the projects that worked as jumping stone for something else.
