so the correct pronunciation would be deb'ian/deb'ee'an (as opposed

Why is it that so many americans have looked at it and said, "Deebian"?
I don't get it and thought I was wrong when I first talked to someone
about debian.


Beats me too. Here in Belgium, most people I know say "Deebian" for one
reason or another, are surprised when I tell them it's wrong and why,
and often keep saying "Deebian" (even though I think it sounds ugly)?



I prefer "Deebian" (and yes i'm from Belgium :)) because i think it sounds better. I never liked the pronunciation of "Debian".
