The only thing it's missing is drivers for modern hardware, but it will run great on a VM or a free computer found on the side of the road.

The boot process is fairly awkward and requires a humongous binary blob to be loaded before control is given to the operating system.  Given my advanced case of paranoia, I fear that that binary blob might secretly contain software that violates my privacy (it would be very difficult to check, since the GPU architecture specs haven't been published).
