If I remember correctly Linus created Linux because he could not
distributed some of the fixes he had made for Minix in a single

Yes. That's right. Whole story (from Linus's point of view) is in
Linus's Just for Fun book. Really Linux was just a terminal emulator for
connecting to the University computer. Linus announce the creation of
some working code in minix mailing list and Linus name himself as a
great fan of Andy Tannenbaum's book The Design and Implementation of OS
(Minix book)
