Bullshit.
They tried the micokernel way maybe w/o the required resources, since
a microkernel is much harder to debug.
But w/o GNU software the Linux kernel should have been as useless. If
Linus could have compiled it with minix native compiler (have you ever
read what was the Minix license at that time or have you ever asked
professor Tanenbaum for the compiler sources ?
BEFORE GNU/Linux we were using bash, gcc, emac, bison, flex etc on
other U*x as a better replacement of the native tools. They run on
machines very few coukd afford for use at home. And when Linus dialed
his PC HD, friing the Minix partition, he was using gcc to compile its
tools and other GNU tools. He even wrote the kernel ti comply to the
tools needings. And THAT made the Linux kernel succesful, because it
fitted perfectly in GNU, creating a good unix replacement you coukd
run on the box you could afford at home.

Right!

All, AFAIK.

Xfree is not a GNU project, and Xorg too. But what you say is right.
And, again, did it BEFORE the Linux kernel was written.
