Features
Emmabuntüs can be installed, in its entirety, without an Internet connection as all of the required packages are included within the disk image. The disk image includes packages for multiple languages and also optional non-free codecs that the user can choose whether to install or not.[10]
Emmabuntüs was developed to function correctly on 10 years old computers, which were previously running Windows XP or more up-to-date Windows versions, and equipped with a minimum of 1 Gigabyte of RAM for the 32 bits versions.[11] This allows associations like YovoTogo & JUMP Lab'Orione to recycle computers in order to equip high schools in Togo,[12] or the Emmabuntüs collective to equip kindergarten and elementary schools in the Paris area.[13]

Applications
Multiple applications are installed that perform the same task in order to provide a choice for each user that uses the system. Emmanuntüs also includes educational software like Gcompris, TuxPaint, TuxMath, TuxType, Scratch, etc. It also contains Kiwix, an off-line Wikipedia reader allowing Emmabuntüs to become an self-contained (without Internet access) Free Culture Server, including Wikis like Vikidia, or books in the ePub format.[15]
