The book is about MINIX operating system, a operating system without hacks, to showcase the concepts.

Linux is a fork from MINIX.

> Linux is a fork from MINIX.

This is false. Linux kernel even in the early stages didn't share any code with MINIX. MINIX had a restrictive license and this was partly why Linus decided to roll his own OS kernel.

Further, the two OSs differ fundamentally from an architecture standpoint (microkernel vs monolithic kernel).
