On second thoughts, ghostscript and friends. My wife called me this
morning from London to ask how to make a pdf from her m$word at work.
Easy: take the file home and read it into any Linux app. Definitely the
fact that _any_ app in Linux can write ps or pdf is one of the killer
features. Which makes my killer app:
ps2pdf
Blah, install pdf writer under Windows. As easy as kprinter.
There is no "killer app for linux"...if you mean a killer free software app,
then firefox or openoffice.
"Linux" is really just a convenient, nearly-crashfree environ where we have
total control. You can piece together most things on BSD or even Windows.
