And I meant to mention in my last mail that I THINK (not direct
knowledge) that SLS (Soft Landing Systems) may have been the first to
ship a complete integrated system, though I think it may have been on
a huge pile of floppies instead of a CDROM.
Depends on your definition of "complete integrated system".

Of those Linux "distros" I've used, SLS was the first, I'd nowadays call a "distro". It was an ever growing "pile of floppies" :)

However, I recall having played with a "4 floppy" Linux, which to my recollection came from Linus, but now that somebody else in this thread mentioned HJLu, I believe was his works - But this wasn't a "distro" in today's meaning.

Yggdrasil, Walnut Creek, Slackware, ... RH, Debian ... SuSE all came years later.
