From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Probably debian or slackware, there weren't that many in 1999
There was a lot more that you’d think.
But most of those were extremely shitty or niche and got abandoned. Except Mandrake. That one was pretty good but I think I remember they were constantly having funding issues.
Mandrake was to Redhat as Ubuntu is to Debian now.
So, like today?
Mandrake, Suse, Corel, Red Hat, Turbo, Conectiva, PLD, Caldera, Rock, Coyote... that's just the more well known distros, there were dozens at that point already.
