You were lucky. My first Linux installation was Slackware. iirc it took 46 3.5 floppies if you wanted gcc and the related build tools. The Fedora 49 install I did on an old Dell computer last month went much smoother. The box had been running OpenSUSE but I'd missed the leap from 13.2 to Leap so I thought I'd give Fedora a try. I'd used Red Hat back in the day but soured on them when they unilaterally released the '2.96' gcc that was supposed to be the development branch. Fedora is only one level downstream from Rawhide and gets a lot of updates but they haven't broken anything yet.
