It's a Network Operating System for configuring routers & switches (implemented on top of Debian). This means: * You can SSH in and configure it like you would a managed switch or router. There's a single object that models all of the device's configuration, when you commit it a bunch of scripts activate and actaully apply the configuration to the running system. * Deployments are image based, you can roll back to older images etc. * You don't need to look at any of the system's underlying configuration files or use any of the normal Linux commands to examine and manipulate the state of the system (the commands are still there for convenience of course). You don't even need to be aware that you're really using a bunch of custom bash functions to examine and manipulate the state of the system.
