E.g. build your own kernel, configure anything, change your desktop/window manager, configure anything, gives you the possibility to configure anything via the command line (possibility != need), etc
It runs on more different systems, it uses fewer resources (RAM, HDD, CPU)
True support for terminals, virtual terminals and multi-session, open source (allows to write own patches) and shorter patch circles. Support for X. True support for "text-file configuration" (which makes config-backups much easier).
More "out of the box" software.

Let me be clear and say I am not against any OS and willing to try it on my cutom made desktop which I am planning to build next week.
Have fun
