The Debian project was started by Ian Murdock - his wifes name was Debra (I think that's the spelling of it - not sure) so hence forth Debian was formed. And as such it should be pronounced "Deb-ian" and not "Dee-b-an" as so many do :-) Regards, ...Karl -- Karl Ferguson, Tower Networking Pty Ltd (ACN: 072 322 760) [EMAIL PROTECTED] t/a STAR Online Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +61-9-455-3446 Fax: +61-9-455-2776 http://www.star.net.au/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
