To nerds, a blank slate; to OS-tan, a healthy vegetable.
This article is a stub.
You can help the OS-Tan Collections Wiki by expanding it.

There are many computer and OS lineages, many of which are intertwined to some degree. So although these system families don't seem to be related, many of them share a common ancestor, either directly (code-derived) or indirectly through influences from a common system.

In most cases, the founder of a lineage is created from another one herself, but establishes herself and her descendants as a new separate lineage due to cultural and/or ideological differences.

First version of an OS-tan map, slightly outdated, some changed have been made, such as: AN/FSQ-7 and SAGE are the same character, CTSS-tan also represents the IBM 7094 hardware, PDP-1 is the ancestor of PDP 4,7,9 and 15; LINC is the ancestor of PDP 8, 6 and 11; Nova influenced the Apple I.
Second version, more focused on blood and conceptual ties.

List of lineages, to be better organized (somehow!) later:

  • CP/M
    • x86 DOS
  • DOS/Win9x
  • pre-Macintosh/Early Apple
  • Commodore
  • Sinclair

    • Whirlwind
  • DEC (note: is actually multiple, separate bloodlines)
    • LINC
    • PDP-8 branch
    • PDP-10 branch
    • PDP-11 branch
    • RSX branch (derived from RW-300)
