Joseph:

Unix Expert shows/hides the Unix related file system, such as /tmp, /usr, /etc  
and so forth.
+ allows you to access the entire file system
- is very confusing for beginners, since the sheer number of filesystems is  
overwhelming

Public Sound Server -- allows/prohibits others from sending sounds over the  
network to your speaker
+ allows you to create "haunted house effect" (hey, where's the music coming  
from?)
- I don't know of any

Public Window Server -- allows/prohibits others from sending windows to your  
machine
+ allows remote processing (run an application on one machine and display it  
somewhere else)
- a security hole, but I don't fully understand how

+ Large File System -- don't know anything about this one.  Anyone care to  
comment?
