For me it was visiting a friend who was using RH4 and seeing the stuff he was doing, I was already a computer geek and programming quite a lot so the idea of an open source operating system I could have the source code to was incredible.
I broke the family PC a whole bunch of times (software not hardware) before I managed to get linux onto and then onto the internet, after that nothing came close as a platform to work on and so it's nearly 20 years and I still run it to this day.
