Debian



Hi,

>From www.dictionary.com:
"/deb'ee`n/, *not* /deeb'ee`n/ The non-profit volunteer organisation
responsible for Debian GNU/Linux and Debian GNU/Hurd. Debian's Linux
distribution is dedicated to free and open source software; the main goal
of the distribution is to ensure that one can download and install a
fully-functional operating system that is completely adherent to the
Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG)." 

So, what's exactly the meaning of "Debian?" Is it a made up name or what?
It's nice to have "Debian" in a dictionary, but it doesn't explain the
meaning of the word.

BTW, the dictionary (if referring to "the Project") could have been made
simpler: 
Debian: a cool OS.

Oki
