As a vital deliverable software of the National Resource Centre for Free and Open Source Software, it has an enhanced desktop environment that includes support for various Indian language and instructional software.
The software has been endorsed by the Government of India for adoption and implementation in India. BOSS Linux has been certified by the Linux Foundation for compliance with the Linux Standard Base.[1] BOSS Linux supported Intel and AMD IA-32/x86-64 architecture until version 6 ("Anoop").
