Of the top of my head: Open development (bug tracking system, mailing lists,
IRC etc), high-quality packaging (no Red Hat style "contrib") with proper
dependencies, easily upgradable including running systems, window
manager-agnostic automagically maintained menu system, automagically
maintained /etc/mailcap, integrated documentation system (docbase + dwww),
supports several non-x86 architectures.
