I started with a book too. But it was 1996, and the distro was Yggdrasil, and the book was a printout of all the man pages. I used it for a Prolog programming course, so that I didn’t have to go to the university and use their computers. Of course, then I discovered the joys of different flavors of Prolog.
Conectiva for me. More than a mere printout of man pages though, it was actually translated documentation into Portuguese and a really useful intro book.
