Well, it depends on what you do with them.
If you play games & do a little word processing/.... then perhaps not,
but you can do things like: play with the firewall, recompile the
kernel, install stuff that isn't part of the distribution, run up
oracle -- use it for something, ...

If nothing else you will be better placed to do more interesting stuff
at whatever jobs you do get -- and those will carry more weight.
