They allow root SSH access, and can install your choice of OS (lots of linux flavors, ubuntu, SUSE, CentOS, etc) from a control panel. Aside from that they are similar to WebFaction, but having that much flexibility, with the base plan only ~$8/month, is pretty awesome.

Running the risk of taking this tread in an inappropriate direction, I
feel compelled to mention http://openhosting.com, founded by Gregory
Trubetskoy the author of mod_python. Aside from the pleasant opportunity
 to name-drop :) I have found their service, up-time, and support to be
phenomenal -- while not the cheapest vps on the block. I think their
service plans start at around $20 US a month.
