The Linux thing is the major selling point for me and the main reason why I didn't just go get an iPod Touch as soon as they came out.
It doesn't come with all of the common nix utilities by default. For example wireless-tools for iwconfig needs to be installed separately, it uses a different shell than bash (again, you can install it if you wish), and some programs like man and stat seem to be unavailable.
