[comp.sys.atari.st] MiNT and Gemini...

Can someone inform me a little bit more about these two 'system' DOS/TOS 
replacers, or whatever they're called.  How well does MiNT do what it 
supposes to do, which is multi-tasking?  I've played with Gemini, and 
love the new desktop setup, but is Gemini pirated at all, or is it truely 
an original new desktop replacement in the PD/Shareware distribution?

Is anyone using either of these programs as an entire replacement for 
their ST's OS?  Tell me the differences, improvements, etc.  I'm very 
interested in maxing out the Mega ST4 to it's capaciable limit in 
operation!  Also, I need to know detailed instruction on how to install 
either of these programs into my ST, and know how to run them.

The documentation seems to point out that MiNT isn't complete in some 
way... some bugs or something?  No longer am I interested in just the 
simplicity of GEM... I want P O W E R !!!
