Missing from your list:

     - Portable. The most portable Linux distribution today. If you ever want
       to switch your srever to another architecture, you'd better have
       a Debian system. Will in the future run on top of BSD kernels.

     - Stability. THe Debian Policy makes it that way. It's rock-solid.

     - Innovation. APT (now inConectiva); update-alternatives (now in
       Red Hat) are some examples...

     - Good Java support. Lots of Java packages.
 
     - Easy to administer remotely.

     - Values your feedback a lot. You may report a bug with the
       excellent bug-reporting tools, and your bug will be fixed
       in the next release (or in a few days if it'sa security
       issue)
