I've found this to be an interesting chart to have a look at and I thought many here would like to have a look to, so here's the link to the chart, the picture is a .svg, works in Firefox and Ctrl+/- zoom works too.

I never new SuSE started as a slack based distro. I wonder when they changed to rpm.
A really interesting chart. I enjoyed charting my own journey with Linux that started with Red Hat, then Caldera and so on and so on.
Thanks for the link

I'd like to, though that's the only link I have and I've had no luck in trying to trace it to it's roots, for all I know that might be it.
Ah ha, but wait I think I've found it!
It's got be connected to one of these charts, I'll try and narrow it down.

I really like this version with the dates on it. I didn't realise just how long I've been using Linux for. Around 96/97 according to the chart.

All these years and I still feel like a newb at times, especially with a new distro. The joys of Linux
