I started using Debian and RedHat Linux when I was at www.shef.ac.uk 
back in 1993.  Then I got into e-mail discussions with Richard 
Stevenson at Pegasus Mail in New Zealand.  By 95/96 I was helping to 
start the first UK LUG - www.manlug.org.uk - and then later - 
www.sheflug.org.uk - which I still run.  The discussion with Richard 
Stevenson was about the fact that I would have to be nuts to suggest 
that a free desktop could exist on Linux.  But, as we all know.  Times 
have changed. I spent ten years writing for - www.linuxuser.co.uk - 
www.linuxformat.co.uk - http://www.linux-magazine.com/ .  Travelled 
round the world a few times doing that.

Just at the moment we seem to be experiencing a healthy FOSS 
environment with many versions of GNU/Linux and BSD out there.  It 
wasn't always like that.
