    o Symmetric multi-processing

    o Patched GCC (OS specific toolchain)

    o IPC (pipes, signals, messages, shared memory)

    o ELF executable & shared library support

    o libc, self-made

    o libghostapi, kernel API library

    o libghostuser, simplified file I/O, creating UIs etc.

    o libstdc++ port

    o VESA video driver

    o Window server (GUI with homemade toolkit)

    o PS/2 keyboard & mouse driver

    o Userspace filesystem driver support

    o Serial COM1 debug interface

    o Virtual 8086 for BIOS calls
