A Mind Map of Linux Distributions

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pics-for-your-cube dept.

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."

    the multi-lingual section does not show the parent distribution

    Look again. See the legend in the upper right assigning colored dots to the major distros? See the colored dots on the cells for the multi-lingual distributions and the security related, and small distros?

    (this also answers another posters erroneous gripe about having groups unrelated to their parentage)
