What Trollup! Linus never admitted to modifying Minix. Minix and Linux are fundamentally different OS's. Linux is as much a product of Minix as all of your articles are a product of the windoze operating system you wrote your news articles on (or other OS as may be the case).

I have long suspected that the reporting on ZDNet was biased possibly by ignorance, possibly by payment, but articles such as this only serve to strengthen my view.

I don't think ZDNet can offer tech professionals any real value, it seems to me it is in the category of a gossip magazine.
