I propose that we change the last line (as discussed on the list) to

    Debian 2 - Get it today!"

Here is how I think this can be changed to emphasize the strongest points
of Debian:

  The Debian GNU/Linux distribution has
  several unique features:
     o full glibc (libc6) distribution, with
       backwards compatibility for legacy applications
     o dpkg, Debian's tried and true package manager.
       With dpkg everything is upgradable - no reinstalls.
     o renowned stability and security awareness:
       Debian used in-flight on the space shuttle.
   Debian comes with the most recent versions of
   the Software that you need for
     o the Desktop (Xfree86 with several look-and-feels),
     o web servers (Apache with full perl CGI support),
     o graphics (the GIMP GNU Image Manipulation Program),
     o document processing (SGML/DSSSL and TeX/LaTeX),
     o and everywhere else: nearly 2000 packages included.

Cheers,
	Kristoffer
