My first Live CD was actually Puppy Linux and it was surprisingly nice, for the time.

I did have one of the mail order only Ubuntu Live CDs. I wish I had kept it. I bet they are kind of rare, because I recall prominent instructions on it for how to make a copy for a friend.

I showed my uncle a bunch of different distros... I thought for sure he'd go for Scientific Linux. But nope. He took to puppy. And has been daily driving it for well over a decade.
