According to this, the first was Boot-Root from Torvalds himself in 1991. The oldest that are still around are Slackware (July 1993) and Debian (Aug 1993).

I wonder if someone could still install boot root? I’m not a techy person, but I’d watch the hell out of that YouTube video!

Dang, that would have been a cool one to see!

I’d love to see what those looked like back in the day. I love computer history, even if I don’t fully understand it. Haha
