Sadly, it is wrong at least in some details. For example, Mandrake forked off Red Hat, as did Conectiva, and they merged into Mandriva (and Conectiva doesn't show up at all). They show Caldera, whose Linux distribution failed, who changed their name to SCO and launched their ill-fated attack on Linux. They never had a SCO distribution of Linux. Also, SLS was at least the intellectual heir to MCC, and I'm not so sure SuSE was decended from Slackware.
