  MINT
       Mint is Not TOS (Atari), "MiNT"
       
       

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  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.
