For me,
It all started with a Tech, who was building my current system, giving me a Knoppix LiveCD back in 2000. At that time, I was still running Win98, and doing VB programming. I was getting tired of the security updates that M$ had; every time I fixed one security hole with one of their patches, it seemed another was introduced. So I was ripe for a change, and never tried any Linux.
Upon booting the LiveCD, I was not only impressed by Knoppix, but saw the potential of getting away from M$ all together.
I hard drive installed Knoppix fully, and did about 3 or for Dist-Upgrades on that HD install, until it became apparent, Knoppix was better suited for LiveCD, or poor mans, installs. Around that time, someone suggested Kanotix, which I moved to.
From Kanotix I think moved to Sidux, which I have been running ever since. My "join" date here reflects when I went "full time" Linux, and have never looked back. I may shift to another Distribution, due to SID being so unstable at times (mostly during Debian Freezes when they are getting ready to release updated Stable), but, I am impressed with Debian, and may just move to Stable or Testing.
I have seen Ubuntu, and Kubuntu. Linux has come a long way since I took the plunge, and completely immersed myself in it. I do not run every LiveCD, nor do I go looking for other Linux, or for that matter, Windows, Operating Systems. Once I find something I like, I tend to stay with it. I would still be running Knoppix to this day, if it wasn't for those couple of DU's that failed up my HD install.
I have become well known in IRC, on many channels, as the Lady who runs Linux... and I will never go back to anything Microsoft will ever put out, again
