Nathan -
I really like the package management - you can easily "clone" systems so that
they all have the same behavior, have the same software packages, etc.
Another thing I like is FAI (Fully Automatic Installation), think Solaris's
Jumpstart on crack.
Also, when you install a package, the default configuration is almost always a
safe and sane one, no worries about your smtpd being an open relay, etc.
Overall it has a much more "enterprise" feel to it than any of the other linux distros.
I'm sure I can think of more if you're interested.
