One thing I always found awesome is that even the very first versions, like "Linux Aktuell 4.x" from 1996 or so, already had full support for Braille terminals during installation. That made SuSE very usable for blind people, even installable, while for other operating systems you always needed someone to set the system up for you (and probably still do). I am not blind personally (and I don't know anybody who is), but I still found that a fascinating thing to do (I assume they knew someone who was blind and required that support?)
