A community-maintained timeline of Linux distributions and their lineage, generated as SVG/PNG images from CSV source using gnuclad. It is accompanied by the Distroware info archive documenting Linux, BSD, and OpenSolaris distributions.

Use cases

  • visualize the genealogy of Linux distributions over time
  • find out which distro a distribution is derived from
  • create a custom Linux distribution timeline SVG
  • research the history of Linux distros for an article or presentation
  • look up details about Linux, BSD, and OpenSolaris distributions

When to choose

  • you need a visual family tree of Linux distributions
  • you want an up-to-date, community-maintained distro lineage chart
  • you need SVG/PNG timeline assets for documentation or teaching

When to avoid

  • you need package or release metadata about distributions rather than lineage
  • you want an interactive web app rather than static images
  • you need timelines for non-Linux operating systems only
