Jason Fitzpatrick is warranty-voiding DIYer and all around geek. When he's not documenting mods and hacks he's doing his best to make sure a generation of college students graduate knowing they should put their pants on one leg at a time and go on to greatness, just like Bruce Dickinson. You can follow him on Google+ if you'd like.

According to that infographic, the back bone of Linux is Unix which as far as I know is wrong. Can anyone correct that or me?
Technically, it’s right.
But actually, Linux core was developed on basis of Minux, which was a small version of Unix written for educational purposes.
*sorry, mistyped: Minix
Okay thanks for clearing that up :)
