Or Puppy Linux! The first day I popped that CD drive in and was able to run the internet browser ten times faster than I ever could on my decrepit family computer was a magical moment for me. It made me realize just how much power was being wasted on things I neither knew nor cared about under the surface.

I liked this post about Puppy Linux so much it's linked on my home page (nvm that i dont have any other pages):

Might have less to do with the post and more to do with my own fond memories of Puppy and it's community

Today I used the opposite approach. I began with Debian, next SuSE8, Knoppix, Aurox, Debian Sarge for lots of years, and, after OpenBSD, I use Hyperbola with a pretty sparse cwm with uxterm, links+, and for music/podcasts I use two scripts: sfeed_download, anonradio, tpradio and amused playing my collections at random. No bling bling, almost no features with sfeed.
