Can someone with extensive knowledge of Linux SAT receivers please let me know what are some advantages that Linux boxes can offer? And how, in vauge terms, how to implement them? (Legal stuff, I mean, I'm not into "card-sharing", etc.)

I have a home network with several PC's, NAS devices, etc. connected, and am wondering what "cool things" I can do to my ethernet-enabled, Linux-powered Kathrein box? I have some knowledge of Linux, and can PUTTY into the Kathrein and browse some directories, but I'm wondering what files int here I can manipulate? Are there some scripts out there? Or advice on how to make some modifications?

...otherwise, what advantage does a Linux box offer compared to a non-Linux box? :confused The only 2 "cool things" I can do right now is view/program channel recording in a web-browser, and view the recordings back also on my PC; but I guess these kind of features are available in non-Linux boxes as well.
