I'ts mostly a matter of personal preference.

it's very consistant with SYSV ala SUN for locations, etc.
The package management blows away all the other's I've seen.  Take the
best parts of redhat's rpm.  make conflict resolution alot smarter
and robust, and then add the ability to get updates, dependancies, etc
from the web autiomatically.

Debian's push for quality also helps make the boxes alot more
stable.
