Actually, "Mint" already had several meanings before the first MiNT  
kernel was written... :o) And we're not even really allowed to call  
it MiNT now, as MiNT is an Atari trademark (so probably owned by  
Infogrames/Atari now as well) but FreeMiNT.

But hey, maybe Infogrames can sue the company who made the Linux  
distro! :o)
