We're talking 20+ years ago over in Amsterdam and Helsinki. They'll never know for sure if he ever used any Minix code at all, but either way Linux is hardly an indpendent piece of work, Torvalds will be the first to tell you this.

Fine, Mr. Know-it-All. You go download a historical Linux source and compare it to the source from Minux 1, and show us the code. You know so much more than anyone else, prove it!

All of the code is out there. We're not comparing Unix to anything closed source. There's nothing hidden. All you need to do is look at Linux 1.0 or earlier, and Minux 1.

I'll even give you a hint, Mr. Windows. You might try using GREP to search for similarities in the files.

Otherwise, go drink yourself a nice tall glass of STFU.
