In this paper we derive the canonical distribution as a stationary solution of the Liouville equation for the classical dissipative system. Dissipative classical systems can have stationary states look like canonical Gibbs distributions. The condition for non-potential forces which leads to this stationary solution is very simple: the power of the non-potential forces must be directly proportional to the velocity of the Gibbs phase (phase entropy density) change. The example of the canonical distribution for a linear oscillator with friction is considered.
