Yep, it was initially supposed to be compatible with minix, used it's file system etc...
I just read Linus'es posts to minix newsgroups from archives about his small project back at '91 or so, where he stated that his experimental OS for hackers isn't ever going to be as big and professional as GNU Hurd for example...

I've used linux from it's kernel releases 1.2 or 1.3, don't remember exactly, but Slackware was the distro.

:)
