Just finished a new update (http://futurist.se/gldt/) of my pet project. Now with clickable labels (in the SVG).
Future updates are expected to be much more frequent, because I've also started a pet project of my pet project (https://launchpad.net/gnuclad).

As always, improvements and suggestions are very welcome :)

Enjoy!

Thanks :)

The developer of MCC Interim never intended for his distro to be "final" (the name might be a hint...), but rather something like a proof of concept for installing the GNU system with the Linux kernel (and it had lots of BSD components too) on various machines.
After realising that Debian and Slackware were growing very fast (Red Hat wasn't well known at that time yet) and hat lots of manpower/enthusiasm behind them, he even offered migration support so that users could move to Debian.
