My first intro to Linux was Debian a couple of years ago and I, too, was 
impressed by the ease with which upgrades were undertaken.  The apt system 
has improved also over time (I started with the dselect and the hamm 
release.)  One thing which I find useful is the --simulate 
option.  Basically it will let you know what it intends to alter so that 
you can consider this at your ease.  dselect seems to have been much 
maligned but I sometimes use it for fine-tuning an installation.

I think the UWA mirror is available outside of UWA.  Try ftp.uwa.edu.au as 
per Sol's original posting.

For example
deb ftp://ftp.uwa.edu.au/mirrors/linux/    and so forth.

HTH,
