Hi Philip,
Thanks a lot - that's what he was looking for ;) You sure know your history!

As far as I know his inspiration was Minix --- minix was a small unix
clone for i368
which came or was associated with some text book or somthing like
that, you could look at the source,
but not modify, and the author accepted very few contribs. It was
somehow expensive too. (that's why there still is minix filesystem
support in the kernel)
but I might be wrong

Hi guys,
Some guy read my article on the History of Unix and Linux and wants
to know which version of the UNIX kernel Linus used as inspiration
for the Linux kernel. Personally, I don't know.. Does anyone have an
idea?

Hi there,
I wasn't really into UNIX when Linux came around, however, this
message has been forwarded to my local Linux User Group where
someone will come up with an answer.. I'll post you a reply as soon
as I have one.
You can also look at this site which you may find useful:

Hope this helps, please ask again if this is not what you were
looking for,
Thanks i know :D
for an example BSD was inspired from
the GE 645 abandoned program
not from the first called Unics system.
Yes it's a clone of what model ?
there is a big Gap
between Version.6 1973 arch
and the System V.3 arch
What model has been cloned ?

Hi there,
I did not understand your question fully, but:

was cloned. This means that no particular version of UNIX was used
to create Linux - Linux is a kernel which mirrors the functions of
the UNIX kernel.
Hope this helps, please ask again if this is not what you were
