MiNT
(MinT is not TOS - a {recursive acronym}) A
freeware, {open source operating system} for the {Atari ST}
range of computers. MiNT was originally based on a {port} of
{BSD} to {Atari ST} computers by Eric R. Smith. MiNT gave the
Atari access to BSD's many network applications. A short
(1992-94) romance between MiNT and {Atari} Corp., who decided
to convert the system to the {MultiTOS} {kernel}, produced a
unique TOS/Unix hybrid, which provides simultaneous access to
both {GEM} and BSD application libraries.
Since MiNT is MultiTOS's kernel, it has kept all the features
described above and, if an {AES} replacement is installed, it
can show you a new face of MultiTOS. Unlike MultiTOS however,
MiNT is based on a different {file system}, that is faster and
more flexible than TOS's. Furthermore, thanks to the network
support, MiNT allows an Atari to be an {Internet} {server}
that can still run GEM and TOS applications! This has won
MiNT many devotees ("MiNTquisitors"), making it the main
competitor for {ASH}'s {MagiC}.
Unlike {Linux}, MiNT can run on a {Motorola 68000} with no
{FPU}. It needs at least 4 MB of RAM, more to run multiuser
or to run GEM applications at the same time.

MINT
{Mint Is Not TRAC}
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mint
(Gr. heduosmon, i.e., "having a sweet smell"), one of the garden
herbs of which the Pharisees paid tithes (Matt. 23:23; Luke
11:42). It belongs to the labiate family of plants. The species
most common in Syria is the Mentha sylvestris, the wild mint,
which grows much larger than the garden mint (M. sativa). It was
much used in domestic economy as a condiment, and also as a
medicine. The paying of tithes of mint was in accordance with
the Mosiac law (Deut. 14:22), but the error of the Pharisees lay
in their being more careful about this little matter of the mint
than about weightier matters.
