* Desktop Agnosticism (Includes KDE, Gnome, MATE, and many more)
* OEM Installs (Set up an account on first boot)
* A server option without GUI tools
* Integrated Virtualization
* ZFS Storage with visual management
* Built-in PXE netboot environment

* FreeNAS backup integration
* Many more things that make Michael giddy
