Small, simple, elegant, lean.

As close to the bsd's as was reasonable.

Virtualization support was a pleasant bonus, but not expected.

Imho, without embracing kvm, and therefore taking on that clusterfuck of a
security model, you cannot compete with red hat et al in the enterprise
space.  That said, I don't believe that was ever your intention.  For me,
Owl is turning in to an heirloom linux.  And, that is not a bad goal.

Keep it small, keep it safe, and keep it tidy.
