Abstract: ALICE exploits a large volume time projection chamber (TPC) as its main tracking detector. After ten years of construction it was installed in its final location in 2008 and has been continuously running with cosmic data ever since. This extensive data collection led to a well calibrated detector at day zero. As soon as the LHC collided beams for the first time at s**(1/2) = 900-GeV in November 2009, the TPC was a key sub-detector in the ALICE data taking stream. During the following period of s**(1/2) = 7-TeV collisions in April 2010 it recorded more than 30 million pp events within the first 5 days of integrated running time. Excellent performance and a thorough understanding of the detector were achieved.
