The family tree is a bit older than that with Jurix involved. There is a reasonable family tree chart on the internet, but I'm not sure its 100% accurate - then again memory of things that long ago can be misleading so it may be me. SuSE is I think also older than Red Hat. > And out of debian and .rpm, both seem to be the oldest but I guess debian > is more old...? Was just talking of linux not unix (like freebsd). Bogus kind of led to both Debian and Red Hat but I believe Debian is a bit older. There are several other older distributions still such as Slackware. The oldest "Linux distribution" was probably MCC 0.95+ which migrated its users to Debian as one of its updates and ceased to exist long ago.
