Key Features of ProteanOS

+
+
+

Freedom

+

+ All of the software in ProteanOS is free/libre and open source – + it can be used, modified, and distributed without restriction. + This allows the developers to effectively support the software + and ensures that vendors and users remain in control of the + technology they use. +

+
+
+
+
+

Flexibility

+

+ ProteanOS can be made to run on just about any hardware that can + support an operating system and made to work with a variety of + UNIX®-like kernels (currently supported is Linux®) and system + libraries. +

+

+ ProteanOS ans its programs and libraries can also be configured + to serve virtually any use case. +

+
+
+
+
+

Size

+

+ ProteanOS is designed to be as small as possible. Only + essential programs and libraries are installed by default. And + each software package is stripped down as much as possible. +

+

+ Additionally, many of the programs that ProteanOS provides are + small yet fully-functional and designed with the resource + constraints of embedded systems in mind. +

+
+
+
+
+

Speed

+

+ Many of the software packages provided by ProteanOS are built + with performance optimizations, and ProteanOS as a whole is + built to take advantage of all the best performance features + available for the hardware on which it runs. +

+

+ And ProteanOS starts running in just a few seconds, thanks to + its simple and lightweight boot process. +
