An update

This place hasn’t seen any activity in over six years – except for the comments asking what is going on – so I thought I’d write a little update.

Seeing the comments and the old posted timelines make me nostalgic. I started drawing the timeline “by hand” in 2006 using Dia, Inkscape and whichever vector drawing tool KDE came with – hmm, was it Karbon even back then?

It was all based on a bitmap drawing I had found on kde-files.org. People loved it and after about four years this fellow named Donjan contacted me and told me about his neat little cladogram builder program called Gnuclad in which updates were very easy to make, and where the layout was automated. It was such a timesaver and a really cool project.

While my life got busy with other things, Donjan took over and started doing all the updates. In this time the amount of listed distributions doubled! But the cumbersome part is the data collection and verifying everything and after some time also Donjan stopped with the updating.

So now what? Well, due to the beautiful nature of the GNU Free Documentation License anyone is free to build upon and improve a work and currently I can only point you to https://github.com/FabioLolix/LinuxTimeline where there is a timeline based on GLDT. It seems some people contribute over there and unlike this one it has been updated in the last few years.

However be warned: The above mentioned timeline has scrapped GNU and is NOT a GNU/Linux Distribution Timeline. Too bad. But hey, better than nothing I suppose.

Strangely, they kept the GLDT file naming, which is not right since G stands for GNU.

Here you’ll find the last GLDT version. Hopefully I’ll soon have time and inspiration to update GLDT again!

I also aim to use this space to write some things on projects I find interesting related to the history, current development and future of GNU/Linux.

Hello, I have one correction to make. Bedrock Linux is *not* based on Gentoo. It’s an independant distro. For more info: http://bedrocklinux.org/faq.html#On%20which%20distribution%20is%20Bedrock%20Linux%20based?

@D.M.:
Somehow I interpreted too much into the various pieces of info. Thanks, will be fixed in the next iteration.

Damn Small Linux was “un-discontinued” last month: http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=07373

Hi, I ran into your timeline today in Wikipedia and appreciate it very much.
What I have to point out though, is that Ylmf OS claimed to be not based on Ubuntu since 4.0(the announcement is chinese only, but you can see the DistroWatch page: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=startos), and thus being completely uncompatible with the previous versions.I don’t think it should go forward on the same line any more.
And there’s another issue about Deepin. I don’t know much about Hiweed but Deepin is clearly based on Ubuntu(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Deepin).I hope you can make the correction in the next release.

Hi Everybody!I would like to know, which software did you guys draw up the timeline diagram on the wikipedia with. I would be very thankful if someone emails his/her answer to msanbari@gmail.comBest regardsBabysatch

Hi Everybody!!

Best regards Babysatch

@lixiao:
Thanks for the pointers. Deepin is designated as Ubuntu-based, see the connector at the name change.
We’re trying to reduce line proliferation, so I’m not a fan of putting distros on a separate line. Will look closer into it, or probably pre-mark it for independence rebasing… because eventually gnuclad will have arbitrary rebasing… it’ll happen in this century, I promise! (also e.g. Deepin will then reflow down to Ubuntu)

@Mohammad:
The images are generated by a little tool called gnuclad, there’s a link at the top right.

Hi – Any guidance anywhere on how to configure the title bubble gnuclad uses?

Sure, check the infoBox… properties in either the example directory or the documentation (doc/index.html in the tarball).

thanks so much for the poster

Where does Untangle fall in this timeline?

gOS is discontinued in February. And the GLDT itself is the best Linux list (of distros) I’ve ever seen. It is really useful and impressive. Keep up the good work.

@lolox:
You’re welcome!

@Tomatogoatee:
Well, it should contain GNU and Linux parts, and be a project in it’s own right (not just a retheming of another distro, or a non-serious attempt).
If this is given, and if precise start/end dates are known, then it falls right here 😉
Seriously, your and everyone’s help is welcome!

@Stefan12345:
Thanks for the compliment, glad you like it =)
Would you happen to have a link about gOS’ demise at hand? Their page is down and Wikipedia/DistroWatch don’t imply February 2011 as end date.

Guys, thanks for the very nice timeline!

@zemane:
Thank you for your kind words.
(Darwin is not a GNU/Linux OS.)

@zemane:
You’re welcome 🙂

I�m afraid Darwin is not a GNU/Linux distribution.
It runs on a custom XNU kernel (a hybrid of the Mach and BSD kernels) and contains parts of GNU along with NeXT, but our current policy is to require both GNU and Linux.
Otherwise we would include nice projects like Nexenta, Arch Hurd or Android… but they simply don�t fit the inclusive GNU/Linux category 😉

how may linux distro in this current(1104)version?
this is a really excellent timeline tools.
thanks.

@Stefan12345:
Yep, we have to find a fitting end date though. Interested in looking into it?

@James:
You’re welcome 🙂
An overview of the graphical evolution of the GLDT can be found here: http://futurist.se/gldt/2011/02/19/timeline/
The green numbers are the distro counts, and since we’re adding 10 each month, 11.4 has 360 distros.

@Donjan Oh sorry, I missed the question. Yes, it is discontinued on September, but theirs site is down on early March

And I found that OpenGEU is dead. http://opengeu.intilinux.com/news/still-alive-and-well Yes, untill christmas but 25th of December 2010.

Sorry, I am Stefan12345

AS Linux is discontinued on 23rd march this year

Maryan Linux is discontinued on 14 July 2010.
Trisquel and Nova are based on Ubuntu and Dreamlinux is based on Debian now.
Kaella, DSL and Slax are dormant but active.

@Stefan12345:
Thanks a lot. For the rest: see email.

@HeroBrine:
Thank you.
We already have this change represented as a connector, which will have to do until the rebasing visualisation in gnuclad is ready.

Evo, ovde su dosta Ubuntu-baziranih operativnih sistema.
Izvinjavam se, ne znam na koji e-mail mislite.

@Stefan:
Let’s keep this in English so everyone can understand 😉

We already have a huge amount of distro listings (here, here, here or even simply DistroWatch), what we need are not names, but the corresponding dates with links (release announcement, changelog, …) to prove them. Hence our ToDo article.

I’ve sent you a few mails to your Gmail address (one for every distro you submitted via the form, and then two more iirc), didn’t they arrive?

I was looking at your list out of curiosity. It’s nice to be able to see the ebb and flow of things in our own little world 😀 Thank You so much! That being said I noticed something that I believe to be an error. I’ll look into it further and try to get back to you. PeppermintOS to my knowledge was derived from Linux Mint.

Hi! I cann’t se the Canaima distro. It could be great that you can add it

Sorry the correct webaddres is canaima.softwarelibre.gob.ve/

@Mariangela Petrizzo:
Canaima is right there above the Debian line in 2009.

Hey! You are killing me! I visit this site every day approximately 10 times. Is this project over? :’-(((((

@Stefan:
Not over 🙂

And I’ll come back to your mails and contributions, it’s just that I’m extremely tight on time right now…

I’m extremely glad to here that it is still being developed. This timeline has been extremely helpful in my research paper on the history of Linux. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

@Donjan Huh, I’m better now!

GNUclad is getting rebasing visualization? Awesome!

ALT Linux looks a bit lone but due to its highly developed and public build infrastructure it has always had derivatives:
– Inquisitor was long based on ALT but “rebased” to Debian later;
– Optifacio ApplianceWare was being developed in Minsk, Belarus;
– Clustrx HPC OS was forked for top500 hackery;
– Seiros PBX competed with trixbox in Russia;
– Simply Linux (XFCE desktop) has rather merged back since.

There was even one “raider” fork but I’ll not name it. 🙂

Thanks for the huge and beautiful work!

@Michael: Thanks! If you find or have any more details on these, please add them here.

LinExCol (Colombia), Catux (Cataluña, ESP), Linex (Extremadura, ESP), Guadalinex (Andalucia, ESP), Molinux (Castilla-La Mancha, ESP) y … http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anexo:Distribuciones_GNU/Linux_de_Espa%C3%B1a

This is fantastic! Any updates?

Thank you! I had a break for some time, but will try to update it soon.
