As this page says, almost no Linux systems have a "wheel" group, while virtually all BSD systems (including Mac OS X, btw) do.
This page explains the idea behind wheel and also includes a note from RMS that explains why GNU (& thereby Linux) does not: http://administratosphere.wordpress.com/2007/07/19/the-wheel-group/ It's quite fascinating - and very of a piece with RMS, {deity} love him!
