– Fast start-up (under ten seconds on modern computers) and shut-down (around five seconds).
– Based on the AtheOS operating system. Modular. Multi-user. Memory protection. Pre-emptive. Kernel threading. Excellent support for SMP and multi-core systems. Originally inspired by AmigaOS.

Requirements:
– Runs on Intel-compatible PCs in 32-bits mode.
– Minimum requirements are a Pentium processor and 32 MB memory. (To use the web browser you need some more memory, and 64 MB is needed for the Live CD).
