PS: To address the original question: Being a molecular biologist, my
initial idea was to use an approach similar to that used in gene
analysis: look at the entire set of packages installed on a specific
system (package name and version), and then determine what known distro
the set is closest related to.
I put that aside because I wanted something working quickly, but the
idea of being able to make a "family tree" of distros still seems like
fun. It isn't hard to do.
Cheers,
Morten
