SUSE is now officially openSUSE.

i like it to put the emblemes of the distros into the timeline like you did in the earlier versions.
thx for the great work!

__Mike:
You mean I should rename the “main” SUSE branch to openSUSE and have the Novell enterprise version as a split off (i.e. switch places)? I’m asking because openSUSE is already included. The situation is kind of complicated since Novell got involved I guess… I’m not a SUSE’r, hence my limited knowledge on the matter.
__moose:
Thank you.
It was fairly easy back when there were so few distros listed. With the current layout the image would be HUGE if it had the logos. Back then the circles were more than twice the size, which made it pretty easy to fit the logos inside them. Too small logos wouldn’t look good either. If you have any ideas on how to do it I’d be happy to hear them.

Hi, I just came to say thanks. You’re doing a great job! Keep going!

Nice work. This is very informative, with a nice, clean design.

Maybe add Bluewall and Voltalinux, those are pkgsrc-using Debian and Slackware, respictively. So far they seem to be the only full-blown pkgsrc-using Debian/Slackware-based distros, might need some research if there were earlier attempts.
May 18, 2007 at 5:38 pm
Great! I will use the dates I found on DW (Jan ‘04 for Bluewall and May ‘05 for Voltalinux) unless you have more accurate dates.

Please add Backtrack, a great Linux distro based on Slax.
From his web site:
BackTrack is the most Top rated linux live distribution focused on penetration testing. With no installation whatsoever, the analysis platform is started directly from the CD-Rom and is fully accessible within minutes.
It’s evolved from the merge of the two wide spread distributions Whax and Auditor Security Collection. By joining forces and replacing these distribution the BackTrack could gain a massive popularity and was voted in 2006 as #1 at the surveil of insecure.org. Security professionals as well as new-comers are using it as their favorite toolset all over the globe.
Thanks for the great job.

Note for the next version that Fedora Core is now just Fedora.
And I would also like to see the symbols of the respective distributions on the timeline.
Also this one has too many right angles and it makes it a little tricky to see which distros flow into another. Might I suggest something like this: http://schalken.wubbles.net/distrotimelinesmooth.png
June 4, 2007 at 2:26 pm
Andreas: Thanks! Adding Backtrack.
Schalken: I’ll fix Fedora. I agree the old logos were nice. However they took a *lot* of space, and the amount of distros in the timeline has greatly increased compared to back then.
The transition to a proper vectorized version (in the works) might help squeezing in logos, and also might help concerning your proposal on more rounded connections. I appreciate the idea/feedback. Keep it coming.

the page is largely smaller than svg objs, on this file:
http://www.kde-files.org/content/show.php/Linux+distro+timeline+%28SVG%29?content=59416
A little trick to correct this on inkscape :
* Unlock the layer
* Select all
* file=>document properties
* Fit page to selection
* save the file.
Thanks for this interesting document :).

Popolon: I got in touch with the creator of that SVG a couple of days ago and we’ve started working on a new version. Stay tuned!
June 19, 2007 at 2:12 pm
Thanks you.
Great work.
Only one suggestion, A4 paper format, for optimizing a print.

Oracle Unbreakable Linux
What about this distro ?
http://www.oracle.com/technologies/linux/index.html
It’s a Redhat (RHEL4), lots of people consider a major distro - people who pay for support. This distro was released late last year.
It may be possible to mark each version date release. I know it’s of work but will be nice at least for important disto.
Nice work !

SoulOfDoinel:
It’s more or less impossible to make it that small and still have it readable, however you can scale it to whichever size you want using the SVGZ from version 7.6. Open it up in Inkscape and play around.

Thanks! Will add.
