Why? My guess is that most people who have run across Debian (or Linux)
pronounce it based upon how they think it should sound after reading the
word, or based upon how a friend pronounced it.
I pronounce Linux as Linn-ux, not Line-ux even though it may have been a
play on the name Linus, who pronounces his name as Leenus. As for Debian
I say Dee-Bee-Un.
