Same. I remember getting interested in Linux in like 1997 or so, and it seemed like RedHat was preferred for newbies.

Of course, what were the alternatives then? It was basically Slackware (or Suse), Debian, and RedHat (or Caldera). There was no RHEL or Canonical or SElinux back then. It was a different time.

Hell one of the language packs for installing RedHat was “Redneck”. It was a gimmick to demonstrate localization options.
