Linux is not derived from Minix
I mean, really! This has been debunked repeatedly, most notably by Andy Tannenbaum, who wrote Minix. See the wikipedia article. While there's a lot of mutual (if grudging) respect between Torvalds and Tannenbaum, they take very different approaches to OS design.
This is an indication of the difference between journalism and blogging.
