In theory, you can modify programs yourself because their inner workings should be easy to view, something you can't do with proprietary programs.
By the same token, some developer can make modifications in programs. When it was discovered that the N800 had an FM Radio chip, it took about one day for someone to implement it so we could listen to FM radio! Now, imagine you had a phone that had an FM Radio chip and the environment was Windows or a Mac. Can you imagine that in one day it would be usable? I can't.
I think that SSH-connections are also quite magical. They are easily routed through firewalls, secure, and you can do pretty much anything through a tunnel. After battling many days and nights with Windows VPN, I'd choose SSH over it any time I know you can get a SSH server in windows too, but it isn't nearly as easy and convenient as in Linux.
I know that here lurk people wise in the ways of the Linux. What else can you think of?
*with Linux I mean all Linux based distributions, not the kernel. Go pick your nit somewhere else
