The more exciting new stuff is in testing or unstable; see FlavoursOfDebian for more information on how this works.

-This is a file set up for a New Zealand user, using the unstable
distribtion. If you want to use stable or
testing, just change mentions of 'unstable
' to the flavor of your choice. If you have bandwidth to burn, enable more than one mirror at once (Packages.gz tends to be around 2mb.)

+
+NOTE: if you use 'stable', when a new stable release happens, apt-get will start giving you new versions of packages, which could do all sorts of things. It pays to use the name of the distribution, ie 'sarge', in this case.
There are plenty of other Apt mirrors around the world; try http://www.''your two letter country code''.debian.org/.
