Hi! Thanks for visiting my sandbox. :-)
This page is my testing area and is intentionally a mess. Please do not delete anything on this page — unless of course you put it there. ;-) If you want to use it, please use the Open area section or create a new one. I'll do my best not to delete or undo anything unless it's vandalism or the page gets too crowded. Have fun :-) and, if your going to play in my sandpit, play nice ;-) — or click here to get your own.
This section area is open for use by any one who wishes to use it. Please take care not to mess-up any text on the page that isn't yours. Please also note that most user sandboxes wont include an Open area section and are generally not made open to other users. It is probably wise to avoid editing another user's sandbox page (unless the user specifically gives consent for other users to do such) less you upset them.

The following Linux, BSD and Hurd distributions are all examples of rolling releases. Distributions marked with a ® are full-rolling, whilst those marked with a ℗ are part-rolling, those marked with a © are cyclic-rolling and those marked with a ◎ are opt-rolling. Software distributions derived from another distribution (called the parent distribution) are called child distributions.
Those marked with a ⋌, although still related to ( shared ancestry), are now only derived from ( forked codebase) and no-longer based on ( shared codebase) their parent distribution, making them independent distributions. Software forking in software development breaks cross-compatibility of software packages between related software distributions in an analogous manner to speciation in biological evolution preventing cross-breeding between species.
See GNU/Linux Distribution Timeline at Wikimedia for a Linux distribution evolutionary tree.
See GNU/Linux Distribution Timelines for the original source material at Futurist.se.
Other than Arch Hurd (which uses the GNU Hurd kernel) and the Gentoo/*BSD distributions (which use the BSD kernels), the rest are all Linux distributions (which use the Linux kernel). The following list of rolling distributions is grouped into families of related distributions.
