Hm, I believe the references to Minix is not entirely correct.. possibly for the very first 0.1 release (Oct. 1991, which I didn't test), but you certainly didn't need Minix installed first for any of the versions I started with (Jan. 1992). Linux used a Minix filesystem, but that was all - it bootstrapped itself just fine. This was before SLS came along, which as I recall was mid-1992, and with the speed of development that was comparatively _ages_ later (by then X11 was supported, booting from harddisk was easy, there was a new filesystem ('ext', which came before 'ext2'), networking was up and running, etc.). -- Tor 12:21, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
