   This is wrong.   
      
   MiNT (FreeMiNT) is an operating system kernel that replaces GEMDOS, most of   
   BIOS and some parts XBIOS. Originally, MiNT + special version of AES (by   
   Atari) formed MultiTOS. It was slow and buggy, but it worked.   
      
   It is MiNT that allows using filesystems like Minix, ext2 or NFS.   
      
   Today you can use FreeMiNT kernel with Xaaes (AES developed from scratch, much   
   better then original Atari AES).
