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 seperate lineage due to cultural and/or ideological differences.

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