I did forget the move from Slackware to RH but you are right about not 
having been forced to.  Since then it was just upgrades.

On a new computer in 1994, I ran Slackware.  Put RH 5 which later was 
upgraded 6 and finally 7.x in 1999.  This machine was just replaced 
last month with a new machine running Fedora.  I still have the 
Original HD from it.  I have moved data and OS to new HD's when errors 
started to appear but I never had to stop using the computer and 
re-install from scratch.

It was used as a server and thus didn't get switched off much.

It was a pentium 90 that worked well but was getting way to slow for 
anything useful.

The original HD was 9gig scsi and cost over $6000 in 1994.
