A Mind Map of Linux Distributions

Howard writes "All about Linux has posted a Mind Map of GNU/Linux distributions. This map of GNU/Linux hopes to throw light on the current GNU/Linux distributions and their relationships with each other. Though the map doesn't show the historically significant but now redundant distros like SLS, Yggdrasil and the erstwhile Red Hat, it shows many of the more prominent GNU/Linux distributions."

    Don;t be silly, of course Linspire isn't derived from Debian, its derived from Windows.

    Why doesn't it show that everything comes from SCO and GNU/Linux is a result of the merger between SCO and XFree86?

    But I thought Windows was derived from Debian (or was it BSD), and they picked the name by dropping the "X" from X-Windows.
