Writes binary right handed and hex left handed
Well it's quite nice but too complicated...

It is a bit complicated. Any chance of a slimmed down version?

I see, so it's a picture. I thought it was a written description; I can't really understand that graphic.

I don't find it hard to read the picture.
The long, black line in the middle of the picture is showing the history of the Linux kernel. It starts in the left side where we're given some information about the kernel in the current year (the years can be read in the top), in this case, 1991. As the time goes on the version of the kernel increases. On March 13th, 1994, we see version 1.0, on June 9th, 1996, we see version 2.0, and so on.
In the meanwhile different Linux distributions derives from the Linux kernel. The different colored and black lines are the distributions deriving from the kernel / using the kernel. An example is Debian which shows up on August 16th, 1993. Again we can see that new distributions are deriving from Debian (from its line), like Ubuntu on October 20th, 2004.
All the lines which are slowly stopping (shown by the dotted lines) or stopping suddenly (shown by a line which is suddenly stopped) shows that the particular distribution is discontinued (except in the end of the picture (far out at right)) where the dotted lines are just showing that future of the distributions are unknown, as the timeline (from 2006) can't predict the future.
I hope that helped on the understanding.

Thanks v0id, I understand it a little better now, but I never will completely.

You just need to look at it for a while before you understand it.

Totally agree. At first it looks quite complicated.

Most complex things look incomprehensible at first.
