> 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).
