Non-free logos

Are the Debian, Slackware and Red Hat logos free? According to the license information on wikipedia these logos are non-free and used only under fair use. This would make this whole image non-free. It is trivial to remove the logos from the SVG, but I want to make sure before I go ahead and remove them. -- Borb 06:05, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Following a short discussion on #wikimedia-commons it was agreed that the logos should be removed which I have now done. -- Borb 10:09, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Raspbian?

Where is Raspbian, and if it isn't there, can someone with more experience with the SVG format fix it? Thank you. --XndrK (talk) 23:53, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Just some Corrections...

• Chomium OS is based on Gentoo, NOT on Ubuntu/Debian (!!!)
• CrunchBang is based on Debian, NOT on Ubuntu/Debian (!!!)
• Android is regarded as a Linux Distribution and should be included
• CommodoreOS is being discontinued

Updates

The original maintainers in http://futurist.se/gldt/ didn't maintain their list, they become outdated as of now.

I'm now maintaining it (at https://github.com/konimex/gldt), but I'm not sure whether to push it here or not.

I'm not even sure whether to claim my own copyright or not. Any suggestion welcome, thanks. Konimex (留言) 08:29, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

I think that it would be fine to add your name to the list of authors. Anyway, thank you for doing this. I've considered forking the timeline myself, but I wasn't sure about what sort of guidelines I should set for myself with regards to which new distributions are added to the timeline or how to reliably obtain information on new distributions. --Michaeldsuarez (留言) 00:22, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

DistroWatch is a reliable source for the list of distributions. --Konimex (留言) 12:03, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Nova

Nova is not a distribution based on Debian, It is a distribution based on Ubuntu, please correct this, thanks... See Nova (operating system) — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.55.140.181 (talk) 13:51, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Actually it was based on Gentoo(Enoch)-based on your article. It changed its codebase to Ubuntu in 2010, but for the sake of keeping the original timeline, I changed it to Gentoo and added a connector to Ubuntu. Konimex (留言) 18:42, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Runtu (fork Ubuntu)

Please indicate Runtu It is a fork of Ubuntu Russia, founded in 2007. --Volovik Vitaly (留言) 06:51, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

icon Red Hat

Please, add on the image Red Hat icon (by analogy with Debian and Slackware) --185.52.143.118 05:13, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

I think the copyright of the icon prevents it from Wikimedia Commons. --Franklin Yu (留言) 03:22, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

history Puppy Linux

Why on the image at Puppy a separate branch? The current versions are based on Slackware and Ubuntu --185.52.143.118 06:59, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

From the article [[1]]: "Most of the libraries in Puppy are now from Slackware. Note, though, this does not in any way make Puppy a clone of Slackware -- apart from aiming for binary compatibility, Puppy is fundamentally unique from the foundations upward."

Estrella Roja

Der Link zur Distribution „Estrella Roja“ sollte dringend entfernt werden, weil unter der Domain inzwischen eine ungeeignete Webseite existiert.--Chris1202 (留言) 13:06, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

PureOS Still Under Development

PureOS is still under development and did not stop in 2014 like the image says. See https://tracker.pureos.net/ Divad42 (留言) 02:03, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

I agree that this should be changed. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 22:05, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Another error

SUSE was originally SLS rather than Slackware. Altanner1991 (留言) 01:53, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Ongoing errors: PureOS is active beyond 2014 and CrunchBang is based on Debian, not on Ubuntu/Debian. Altanner1991 (留言) 02:00, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
