Distro based on what?
 

I've been playing around with a couple different distros. I'm undecided on which one I want to stick with, but it got me thinking. Is there a page where it lists what distro is based on which distro? For instance, it could list that Slax is Slackware based.

Reason I ask is it seems like the distro web pages try to avoid saying what they are based on. Thanks in advance.

try here:

I was hoping for a list that pulls them all together. On DistroWatch you have to pull up each distro and go down to the package management section. Thanks.

Here's a pdf of a comparison of some of the most popular distros.

Here's another article on the big five and some smaller fish in the sea.

While it is hard to list every distro, I hope these articles are of some help to you.

After briefly looking over the pages, these are pretty good. Not exactly what I was looking for, but fills the need. Thanks for the links.
