Lightbulb Distribution Hierarchy


As we know that some distributions are not built from scratch but are altered versions of previous one like Oracle has launched altered version of RHEL . It will help newbies alot to be comfortable with the list of dozens Linux distributions but arranged in a hierarchy which show that which distribution originally belongs to which old one. Does anyone has such kind of information?

I found one for you. I used google to search for the terms "map of linux distributions", and the first link was http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2006/0...ributions.html which has this nifty little picture:

Enjoy the picture.
