Could you please add the following ? (I sent you this comments on your first 
post)

"Debian 3.0 is much more secure that previous releases. The base installation 
provides
less unnecessary services that might be the target of attack, likewise Debian 
3.0
includes many more security applications, tasks like firewall administration, 
server
hardening and intrusion detection. The packaging system has also been improved 
sot it can
be configured to automaticly check of digital signatures, thus, it will refuse 
to install
packages downloaded from Debian that do not verify correctly, limiting the 
possibility of
troyan installation and making it easie for systems to automatically upgrade 
over the
Internet. Lastly, Debian now provides also intensive documentation for the 
security-aware
administrator including the 'Securing Debian Manual' from the Debian 
Documentation
Project (available in the 'harden-doc' package or online at
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto)" 

Finally, I would also say that Debian is now "much more international", however
I'm not sure if some of the information below is ready for Debian 3.0 so we
should need to check:

"Debian 3.0 is much more internationalized that previous releases thanks to the 
ongoing
work of free software translation teams. Debian includes default settings for 
more
languages than previouss releases, and more of its programs are 
international-ready. 
This includes the boot-floppies installation which is translated to a number of
languages. There is extensive support for, at least, french, german, italian, 
japanese
and spanish, and there are more than fifteen active translation teams. See
http://www.debian.org/international"; 


TODO: 
- Ask Adam Di Carlo how many translated boot-floppies are available. 
- get the number of packages with po files translated (international/l10n only 
has
the number of po files).
- get the number of packages with debconf files translated (idem)


        It might be a little bit too "market-hype" but these are surely 
worthwile items
IMHO
