Some Features of Red Hat-Athena

• Most standard Athena software: AFS, Kerberos, Zephyr, etc.
• Runs most reasonably portable source code.
• Runs some DOS programs (including Windows 3.x with some restrictions) and static binaries compiled for Intel System V boxes via emulation.
• True multitasking.
• True multiuser support.
• Insulates programs from each other: a user running a buggy program won't crash the system.
• Read/write access to DOS/Windows FAT and VFAT (but not FAT32) partitions.
• Communicate with other hosts on the Internet using TCP/IP.
