1) Speed
2) Stability (in some cases). The Linux kernel is very stable (much more than the Windows kernel is). The apps built on top of that are not always as stable as Mac/Windows apps
3) Open Source (this should really be #1). Proprietary code and proprietary standards suck, because nobody can use them to build more powerful things. Companies like Microsoft try and build monopolies by not releasing their source code, which is good in some ways (but mostly bad)
4) Uniqueness of Ubuntu over other distros of Linux? Ubuntu is just a set of open source packages with some nice features on top, which makes the OS feel more polished. Ubuntu Software Center, Synaptic, the look and feel / themes, and many more things
