You left out a few, such as the MCM release, and SLS release (I ran 
SLS from when it started in '92 or '93 till '96).  Then there was 
Yggdrasil (first CD based distro starting in '93), as well as several 
other floppy based distro's, and of course the classic "Boot/Root" 
floppies.  My first few Linux installs were done using the 
"Boot/Root" floppies (starting in January 1992), and then adding 
everything else.

BTW, on a scarry note, MS DOS 6.22 is now on topic.
