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.
