 Well HOPEFULLY it is not purely an attempt to get a LINUX-smell-alike
 without having to buy a 486?

 All I'm trying to say here is that MiNT should be something for the Atari,
 and something which can be recognized as such.  So your interpretation of
 'making the best out of MiNT' is to make Atari computers behave as similar
 to UNIX boxes as possible?  That's like going from Amsterdam to Paris
 by the Orient Express if you ask me.  Try Atari System V :-)
