Legacy-free, object-oriented graphical desktop environment on a native GUI architecture
Mostly POSIX compliant
Many software ports (Emacs, Vim, Perl, Python, Apache etc.)
GNU toolchain (GCC, Glibc, Binutils, Make)
Pre-emptive multitasking with multithreading
Symmetric multiprocessing (multiple processor) support
Drivers for most common hardware (video, sound, network chips)
