Wow, good topic.

I think I am sitting at 1996, I worked for Inland Truck Parts in KC, 
Mo.  My boss said we could run anything on our laptops EXCEPT a product 
from Redmond.  So I had Redhat installed on a Fujitsu Lifebook.  I was 
too much of a noob, I didnt install it, my friend Dean (a yooper) 
installed it.  For personal full time use, that'd prob be 2002 or so.  I 
think it was when I realized the only way I could have a completely 
legal system (because I was broke) was to depend on FOSS.
