mint - Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (26 May 2007) :
MiNT
<operating system> (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 - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :
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.
mint - Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :
