Where's newer GNUlinux distribution timeline? if yes,you can make version timeline 13 anyway.

Does Android also count as a Linux distribution?

Android it is not GNU/Linux ... it is use Linux kernel but not GNU tools

The Linux Foundation believes that it is indeed a Linux Distro.

See

Android not GNU/Linux, you can say it is use Linux (the kernel).

sure

No, but I think that Android is a linux distr ^^

Surely Android is a Linux distro/derivative, but the point is that it isn't a GNU/Linux distro, so it's beyond the "GNU/Linux Distribution Timeline" scope.

Fedora is the continuation of Red Hat Linux.

And Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a *branch* of them.

Earliest "SUSE Linux distributions" were originally ONLY a German translation of Slackware.

For building its *very own distribution* of Linux SUSE used the _jurix_ distribution as a fresh start point.

Hey there! Fantastic and admirable resource. Should it be convenient, we here at SprezzOS would appreciate being listed on the next iteration. We are a derivative of Debian Unstable.

Hack on!

CrunchBang is not based in Ubuntu. It is Debian based.

That's correct. But the chart is correct -- if you look at the CrunchBang line, since it started out as a Ubuntu-based distro, there is a small dotted line in 2010 leading up to Debian when it switched.

I'm not sure if there's a better way to signify changes when distros change bases, but I think it works for now.

This is not clear to me at all. It took me a good minute to find the line even after I read your comment.

I'd say the simplest way to go about it is to discontinue the old base and add a new line from the new base. Maybe with a (thicker) dotted line from the end of the first line to the start of the second

bump. agreed. crunchbang is simply not a derivative of ubuntu anymore. as it is, the line suggests crunchbang got some influence from debian circa 2010 but remains to be ubuntu based.

This is about the history and the history is it started with Ubuntu.
Perhaps discontinue it and then make a new one with the same name for the rebase.

Great stuff! But I found a bug: five distros (ArtistX, Everest, Qomo, SAMity, ASP) have relative URLs that start with 'www.', rather than 'http://www.', so clicking on them will take you to, for example, http://futurist.se/gldt/wp-... rather than http://www.artistx.org/.

Thanks, good catch! Will be corrected in the next release.

Linux Timeline new home

Hope to see a new timeline soon!

@Larry:
The plan is to rewrite the gnuclad node model such that arbitrary paths are feasible, then let the SVG generator reflow the lines to their new parent distro (similarly to how they branch off right now).
But since gnuclad is a side project of a side project (=GLDT) for me, doing big rewrites is fairly low priority. I'll get around to it, at some point. Patches welcome :)

@John:
Sure, please document this with some links.

@djangofan:
Red Hat and Debian (don't) derive from the Linux kernel project in the same manner they (don't) derive from the Mozilla Firefox project. Ian Murdock, Marc Ewing, etc. simply packaged (aka compiled) and distributed collections of various upstream code.
Linux itself was the last missing piece, GNU the biggest part, hence we call it GNU/Linux and not X11/GNOME/Firefox or such. But you can have Debian without GNU and/or without Linux.
I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to convey, be more precise please.

Chromium OS apparently started out as a Debian derivative years ago, but it's been Gentoo-based for years now. Switch?

Muy interesante!

Great job! Thanks a lot! keep it doing, please!

New release, v16.12, at https://github.com/FabioLol...

Could you add Raspbian and Armbian those are Debian derivatives?

still struggling to install this, linux newbie here. any help please..

Hello, everytime I see this tree I am thinking "what a nice job" :) A question arise to my mind: is there any table with the following data wrapped together: Distribution name / Parent distribution / Root Parent distribution / Number of childs distributions. Would love to see the statistics!

hello all,

is it possible to install gnuclad in windows. I am thinking of using it to draw a graph of our products that has so many variants. I struggle with linux but if someone could point me out to a tutorial (or help), it would be great.

Raspbian?

added

Knoppix based distro:

Sorry Debian based.

Hi to all !!! Any news about timeline Linux ?

You're welcome
https://github.com/FabioLol...

How did you make such a time line?

Why is the Internet Archive barred from archiving this amazing resource? Future past-ists would be missing something quite extraordinary if this site ever disappeared.

EDIT: A year later, observing that it *is* archived at http://archive.is/GXHxN , as archive.is ignores robots.txt.

You might not believe it, but i printed it and placed at my desk at work.
I think it is very important not to focus on distros that can be matched by parent distro. but child distros can help with specific target applications.
So I thought it is very important to keep at close hand at all time.

Is this gonna be updated?

Now at

kool

Android needs to be on this. Yes, it IS Linux.

As people have repeated several times, this is a GNU/Linux timeline. Android is not a GNU/Linux, even though it uses Linux. It doesn't come with a UNIX-like userspace, not even Busybox (which still wouldn't make it a GNU distro).

Could you include in the next release the KaOS distribution? http://kaosx.us/ Thanks!

Crunchbang ($!) is listed under Ubuntu but its derived from debian

#1

#! ffs

No, that's a Hashbang, not a crunchbang.
