I'm running 3.0r1 and I can reach everyone of these sites. Perhaps
your problem is not Debian specific? Maybe a router or ISP problem
somewhere at your site? Can you reach these sites on some other OS
and/or system? Can you telnet to port 80 on these sites?

I run SSH too. It not "unusual" at all ;-)
