At the bottom of http://www.debian.org/intro/about you can find the statement: -- Since many people have asked, Debian is pronounced 'deb ee n'. It comes from the names of the creator of Debian, Ian Murdock, and his wife, Debra. -- Other words that start the same are: debit deb-it debonair deb-onair debutant deb-utant Other words that sound the same on the end, not the best but all I could think of, european europ-ean mediterranean mediterran-ean Hope this helps, -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
