Minix was a UNIX lookalike, developed by dr Tanenbaum and aimed at educational use. Linus Torvalds had nothing to do with its development, other than that he mentioned Minix as his inspirational source in the (now famous) 1992 email in which he announced his Linux OS. Are you sure you didn't mean Midori Linux, Transmeta's embedded Linux distro, on which Linus is rumoured to have contributed significantly?
