A llittle Linux distro geneology

There are tons of Linux distributions out there now. I just wanted to find out which is based on which and others can see it in a visible way. Some of the relations are not strictly A begets B, but you get the idea.

PS. Sorry to the early readers. The page was incorrectly formatted. I wanted to later add links to each distribution and maybe add some little comments. But in different browsers, the formatting show up drastically different, so I had to make it a bmp.



























So these are most of the top 30 distros on distro watch (I didn't put most of the language-specific versions on here like "a Brazillian Version of ..."). My impression is most of the "descendents" try to make their "parents" more user-friendly except some specific distros with specific usages. So I suppose daily users and beginners should be looking at the more derived ones.
