[edit] Technical features
- Minimalism.
- Easy-to-use, reconfigurable graphical interface as the primary user interface.
- Text-based interface to supplement the graphical interface.
- "Flat" filesystem that lacks the hierarchical structure of traditional filesystems, accessed and manipulated through the graphical user interface.
- Written in a compiled "safe-language" that doesn't rely on hardware to secure the system.
[edit] Status
No binary release of BRiX has been made and only the source code is available currently.
