You can manage a Linux (or other UNIX) server remotely. To do anything to
an NT server you need to attach a monitor, keyboard and mouse, and sit down
in front of the box. This can be really inconvenient when you get paged at
9:00 at night, when you're at home and the server is locked in a machine
room, in a locked building, on a campus that's 18 miles from where you are
sitting.
