I too arrived at Debian via OS/2. I really miss it though - I know it is still around, albeit only just. I wish IBM would release the OS/2 GUI for Linux. I like Linux, but I am exasperated sometimes by the lack of comformity within X and how silly things like copying and pasting works between most apps but not others, or how I can't get the Euro symbol despite having followed advice from others who have achieved it, or how I sometimes get silly little boxes instead of fonts - again I have followed advice from all quarters - xfs on, xfs off, changing lines here, changing lines there.
