If I heard your recording correctly, were you asking whether "Debian"
should be pronounced as [de'bi@n] or ['debi@n] (IPA notation)? :-)
(the "@" is supposed to be an upside-down "e", or the schwa, a.k.a. the
natural vowel.) I don't know. I myself usually say ['debi@n]. Maybe
we should ask Ian and Debra Murdock. :-)
Cheers,
