RE: Red e Internet
Cuando dices que ve a todo el mundo en tu red, te refieres a que puedes hacer ping, telnet o ftp a estas maquinas desde la tuya, ¿no?. Si es asi, esto significa que los paquetes saben como ir y volver a tu maquina... Pues eso sí. De hecho tengo un server ftp en un SCO y me conecto tan pancho... Tampoco es que aportes mucha informacion: ¿llegas con un ping?, ¿recibes algun mensaje al intentar acceder?, ¿accedes a algun servicio (como el correo SMTP), o no logras conectar con ningun puerto?. Investiga: - que servicios tienes habilitados, y si el demonio que atiende ese servicio esta corriendo; en particular, mira el inetd, y su configuracion en inetd.conf (este normalmente es el que atiende las peticiones ftp...) - mira si el servicio necesita dar permiso a otras maquinas para su uso; en particular, si el demonio se ejecuta a traves de un TCP wrapper (tcpd), seguira la politica de acceso de este (ficheros /etc/host.allow y /etc/host.deny). El host.deny está en blanco, y en el allow tengo puesto el ALL:ALL. ¿Que salida te da netstat -r?. ¿Puedes llegar -hacer ping- al router?. Deberias tener una ruta estatica hacia tu router, y otra que redirigiera los paquetes a este cuando su destino no esta en tu red. Si hago un ping al router me contesta correctamente.

Re: Diccionario Ingles-Español
¿Conoces dict? Es un estándar para acceso a diccionarios. Más info en http://www.dict.org/ Está dividido en dos partes. Un servidor que es quien realmente maneja los diccionarios, y un cliente que interaccioan con el usuario. Permite, por ejemplo, consulta remota, y hay varios clientes. Uno de ellos (wordinspect) es muy parecido al que tu has hecho (juzgando por el GIF que he visto en tu página). Si quieres verlo, todo viene con Debian 2.1. Lo bueno de usar el modelo de dict es que tratas completamente por separado el diccionario en sí, el código para acceder a él (el servidor) y el código para intraccionar con el usuario (el cliente). Te animo a que modifiques tu programa para que interaccione con un servidor dict. Seguramente puedes coger la parte que te haga falta de wordinspect. Y a construir el diccioanrio como uno para dict (en eso te puedo ayudar, estoy terminando de hacer exactamente eso para el Glosario de Internet de Rafael Calvo, que pretendo hacer paquete Debian cuando Rafa me cambie la licencia...) Jesus. PS: Por cierto, otros interfaces para dict son el WWW (que podéis ver en http://www.openresources.com/services/ (hacia el final de la página), y uno muy bien integrado con xemacs (y creo que también con emacs), que podéis bajaros de http://www.dict.org/ Alfredo Casademunt writes: Hola.

El Thu, Jun 10, 1999, ~ Miguel P.C. ~... ¿Ha salida ya el sevidor de X para S3 Trio 3D 2X en paquete Debian? Yo tengo una AGP de 4Mb con ese chip, y de momento solo me funciona el servidor VGA a 16 colores, :-( Me pasé por la web de XFree y para la versión actual no dan soporte específico. Aunque creo que es un problema de frecuencias. Tengo un monitor VGA, y parece que esta placa para VGA 256 colores necesita una frecuencia más alta de la estandard. Al menos eso es lo que yo deduzco. Me han dicho que pruebe a configurarla con el Frame Buffer, pero creo que incluso hay que recompilar el kernel, y además el 2.0.36 no tiene nada al respecto, así que todavía no lo he probado. Cuando tenga más tiempo probaré con el monitor de un amigo. También me comentaron que en la versión 3.3.3.4 (o 3.3.4?) de Xwindow a lo mejor salía un servidor específico. Tu verás.

Te recomiendo leer el man y mirar /etc/adjtime y /etc/adjtimex.conf ahhh y de paso en los scripts de arranque fijate que hacen con esos archivos. Saludos PD: creo que una nocion se alojo en mi cabeza: al parecer lo que hace adjtimexconfig es editar /etc/init.d/adjtimex y cambiar el valor de TICK y FREQ, pero /etc/init.d/adjtimex toma esos valores solo si no existe /etc/adjtimex.conf, y creo que supuestamente adjtimexconfig deberia actualizar /etc/adjtimex.conf y no lo hace y es por eso que a mi no me cambiaba nada con adjtimexconfig, osea proba borrando /etc/adjtimex.conf y ejecutando adjtimexconfig.

Jon Un saludo, Jon Jon Hola. Hay muchas formas distintas de hacer esto según el resultado que quieras y el MUA y MTA que uses. La más sencilla, probablemente, es utilizar el MUA para que te envíe siempre una copia ciega (Bcc). Esto tiene la ventaja de que puedes almacenar la copia (a través de un filtro con exim) directamente en la carpeta, y verla y utilizarla en tu programa de correo. Otros lo guardan automáticamente, como Elm-me+ o Mutt (esto es mejor que lo confirme algún usuario de Mutt), siempre que lo configures adecuadamente. Pero también puedes preferir que sea el MTA el que se ocupe del tema (buena idea si cambias con frecuencia de MUA y quieres almacenar los mensajes en un formato independiente). Aquí tienes también muchas opciones distintas dependiendo de qué quieras. Con exim, lo mejor es que mires /usr/doc/exim/filter.txt.gz, pero para que veas un ejemplo rápido de ~/.forward: __ # Exim filter if $header_from: contains tu_nombre_de_usuario then unseen save $home/Mail/correo-saliente/ endif __ La forma anterior hace que cada mensaje se guarde en un archivo independiente en el directorio `correo-saliente' de tu ~/Mail (tienes que crearlo). Si quieres que se guarde en un solo archivo, tienes que quitar la barra final. Por cierto, el nombre de usuario se refiere a tu nombre de usuario en el sistema, no al From que definas en las reglas de reescritura.

Pick a gnome app or two, and you'll find apt will drag in a whole bunch of libraries and things from unstable. Be warned, unstable is called unstable for a reason. Sometimes, things will get broken. It's the price you pay for having the latest and greatest. There seem to be some 'stable' Debian GNOME packages from the GNOME home site http://www.gnome.org and its mirrors. (A few other binary distributions also seem to be available). I added 'deb ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/gnome-1.0/debian slink main' (substituting ftp.gnome.org for my nearest mirror) and now I have a stable slink (2.1) system with GNOME. The home page says that GNOME is still beta, and 'stable' GNOME isn't as thoroughly tested as 'stable' Debian, so there still seem to be a few bugs. From what I've seen so far though, GNOME rocks big time. Shiraz.

A few questions from a newbie.
I've been following this list fro a while and currently have 2.1 installed on my PC at home. I got a CD from a friend who provides various CD's for the asking here in Ireland. I choose Debian because I like the philosophy, though I don't subscribe to some of the extremist views I've heard RE: Bruce, Eric and Richard. Just a little back ground of my knowledge and system. I've followed Linux from the Debian 1.3 days with great interest, but little involvement because I didn't have my own PC. I tried installing on one I made from scrap here at work, but the bosses were very hostile to linux and it fell by the way-side. I bought a PC in April. I put WindowsNT on a 2G partition and set-up the remaining 4G for Linux with a 2.1 CD. I used the dual-boot how-to to get dual booting to work. I needed to use the Mach64 server for X 3.3.3.1 to support my ATI Rage IIc AGP video card, but this worked fine with the X11R6 3.3.2 that was part of Debian 2.1, Great! I toyed around with compiling sound into my kernel, but had no joy there, so I downloaded the oss package and this works, but I only get sound for 20 minutes at a time. I want to have a look around in the config files for oss to see if I can get sound working without oss. Any pointers for where to look will be appreciated. I have successfully installed mtv, after I learned how to update some libraries. I felt really great after that. I also recently installed x11amp, but had more problems because one of the libraries installed conflicts with apt. Dselect now give loads of dependency problems when run. x11amp works, but modzilla navigator doesn't. I recently got internet access on the Windows side, but I'm not sure how to set it up for the Linux side. I've got a Sportster internal modem that work with minicom, but only after I hot-sync my Palm III over ttyS0??? I think my best option is to ; Connect to the internet and update my system to potato. My worry is, being new to the entire UNIX/Linux type system, that unless I'm very careful, I'll end up with a completely broken system. Most of it works now, but I still need quite a few things before I can even consider re-partitioning the Windows partition. As I'm a Palm user, I am very interested in KPilot, this , of course suggests that I'll need KDE. I also need a good office app. I want to try star-office, but until I can get the linux side connected to the net, that is a non-starter. I also want Netscape. Since I can connect to the net with Windows, I could start downloading everything with windows, but the Windows partition is rather full! Does anyone know if there are any tools for windows to access an ext2 partition? This would allow me to download everything I need through windows and put it onto one of my Linux partitions. I don't hold out much hope for this idea, but if you don't ask, you won't know. I've had a look around some of the archives, and have been following this list for a while. My main question is, If I update my system to potato, what should I leave alone to avoid problems. I.E., what packages should I NOT update to ensure I don't break anything. I want to get: 1) X11R6 3.3.3.1 This is for my video card. Currently it is working with 3.3.2.3 with the 3.3.3.1 Mach64 server, but I'd feel better with all of X the same version. 2) Netscape. I've heard lots discussions concerning different versions of Netscape, so which version is most stable for Linux? 3) Star-Office. This seems to be the most complete office with the most M$ compatibility. 4) KPilot. For Palm III connectivity, this seems to be the most complete. Does this require KDE, or can I use it with other wm's? I'm currently undecided on the KDE debate, though I'm more concerned with complaints of it being slow and bloated rather that the licensing issues. 5)XCopilot. The version I have seems to have some strange problems. When I open it with the uclinux rom image, it works, but when I use a Palm O/S image I copied from my own Palm III, I keep getting data errors in the terminal window that I launched it from. This image does work with the Windows version of CoPilot, just not XCoPilot?!? 6) mtv. This is a really great MPEG player. I've had nothing but problems with any other mpeg players, Windows and Linux alike. I am really considering paying for this, I think it is worth it. 7) x11amp. My main reason for upgrading to potato in the first place. It works on my current system, but has caused many dep. probs on my system. 8) a good CD ripper. I've had great success using cdparanoia and bladeenc for my mp3's. I'm looking for a good GUI. I'm open to recommendations. I'm sure I could go on and on and on and on . . . . , but I'll leave it at this. I'm very new to the Linux concept, I've grown up in the Windows world and have gotten lazy.

Re: xlib6g-dev problem
You probably need to tell gcc where to look for the X libraries and probably
where to look for the includes as well. You need to pass it flags like -lXaw
(or something for libraries) and -I/usr/X11/include (or some such) to tell it
where the header files are.
This question is probably more on topic under one of the developer lists, or
some usenet groups.
Also, I'd suggest using ANSI style C vs. the KR style in your snippet.
Example:
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
return 0; /* main() always returns an int */

Re: Debian not included in Infomagic's June LDR (plus a little advocacy)
As mentioned below, Infomagic put 1.3.1 on the CDs because they couldn't wait for 2.0. It was really a hassle because they still sent out the first set (at least) with packaging stating that 2.0 was in the collection. I took it to my folks' house to load on their new computer 2 weeks after buying it to prove to them how cool Linux was, then I figured out that what I bought wasn't what I got. Not such a huge deal, really. But I'm quite neurotic, so I got really pissed off about it. I already *had* 1.3.1 from my *previous* Infomagic set. Waste of money. On my own machine (33.6 modem) I actually installed by ftp. Left the modem up overnight for about 4-5 nights. (WHY!!? you may ask, did I do that? Well, I had the installation floppies already, I was impatient, and I already blew my software budget for the month-- since I bought it at the San Diego Computer Expo, I couldn't just return it for a refund-- plus I already said I was neurotic and pissed) I still ought to get a good set of Slink CDs for installs on other people's computers, but I am up to date in Potato and so Slink CDs don't help me a whole lot. On occasion I would like to find someone who can do a one-off of unstable with non-free and non-US. The Debian site lists some URLs where you can supposedly get this done, but when I followed the links, the web pages didn't mention any thing beyond Slink that could be ordered. Infomagic should put Debian back on their CDs, but its useless to put so little care into the quality of the product. I guess they figured Debian users aren't real customers. I *used* to be. Not anymore. Hope someone from Infomagic reads this thread, but they're probably too busy on the Red Hat newsgroups. Incidentally, I have run Slackware, Red Hat (commercial), Caldera, and now Debian. To replace Debian with Caldera is somewhat of an insult, I think. Slackware was the one I kept going back to. I tried Red Hat on 3 separate occasions, and was severely disappointed in the quality. Tried Caldera just once before finding Debian. I will never switch again! Debian is the highest quality distro I have seen.

Exim / sending mail from dial-up machine w correct sender address
Hello,
I have Slink on my home machine. I used eximconfig to set up exim for a
dialup system using smarthost, and I accepted the default values.
The parameter qualify_domain defaulted to 'mikszath' which is the home-made
name of my machine and is not related to any real domain names. When I tried
to send out a message, the delivery failed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:
SMTP error from remote mailer after MAIL FROM:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] SIZE=1473:
host mail.digitel2002.hu [194.9.67.1]:
501 [EMAIL PROTECTED]... invalid host name mikszath, check your
+configuration.
Apparently the ISP's SMTP server required a valid host name.
If I changed qualify_domain to any valid name (e.g. mail.digitel2002.hu),
the
delivery worked but when I checked the header of the delivered message, it
looked like this:
From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Jun 13 22:03:06 1999
(...)
From: Balint [EMAIL PROTECTED] (that's what I set up in Mutt)
(...)
Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(...)
which makes no sense since this address is an invalid combination of my
local username and the specified qualify_domain and I guess this causes
problems when returning some mail.
I also checked how the same message looks like if I send it from Windows
(OE5); it had no Sender: field and the starting From line contained the
same address as in the Form: field, i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So, my question is how to set up exim (and my mail client?) so that I
could specify those Sender/From/Return-path etc. header fields to
be the address I prefer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
Thanks

Year 2000 status of debian
According to http://www.debian.org/y2k/ about half the packages in the base Debian system are not known to be Year 2000 compliant. While I realise that the probably are, I am having a very hard time trying to get a Debian system installed due to it not being year 2000 compliant. (as compared to Redhat (http://www.redhat.com/corp/legal_statement.html#y2k) - whose statement is actually useless for knowing if the system will work in the year 2000, but is better for getting the system past a 'Year 2000 compliant' new system installation checklist item. In particular it would be very useful if someone who understands dpkg and the other debian specific bits could decide if they are y2k compliant and if they are, then to arrange an update to the web page.

Debian has a script at /usr/sbin/pppconfig which is a simple way to set up an internet connection. It prompts you for the all the neccessary information such as phone number, and uses that info to create/edit the appropriate files. You can then connect by using pon, disconnect using poff, and monitor the progress using plog. Often, the one piece of information that people aren't sure of is the authentication method used by your service provider such as PAP, CHAP etc. Since you have it working in Windows, I believe the Win9X connect box shows this information in details after a connection is made.

My worry is, being new to the entire UNIX/Linux type system, that unless I'm very careful, I'll end up with a completely broken system. For now at least, you might be better off sticking with slink. There's certainly no reason to upgrade to potato just to get connected to the internet. I also want Netscape. The slink (stable) distribtion has several versions of Netscape Communicator packaged in the non-free section. If you set up apt-get to connect to a Debian ftp site, and aim it at slink, these commands: apt-get update (to get the package information files) apt-get install communicator-smotif-45 communicator-nethelp communicator-spell will download and install Communicator 4.5 and all it's dependencies, plus the the spell checker and help. To set up apt-get for this, you need to edit the file /etc/sources.list to tell it where and which distribution to connect to. See the man pages for apt-get and for sources.list for info on how to do this: man apt-get man sources.list Does anyone know if there are any tools for windows to access an ext2 partition?

Re: do I have to use Redhat?
There are no install disks for potato yet. I also had trouble with this very problem a while back. My solution was to borrow a supported controller for installing slink and then building a new kernel and swapping the controllers back. There was really no other way. BTW, the 2.0.37-pre series supports these controllers. I suppose I should get busy and build a set of boot floppies that uses this kernel. If you do that, can you make an announcement if you can make them available? Otherwise, I guess its down to waiting for the official potato release... Thanks Graham

Mental Health Association of Hong Kong have, since its inception in April
1995, received a total of 114,210 calls, among which 28,818 calls are seeking
telephone counseling. Moreover, the statistics shows that the number of
cases suffering from any one form of mental illness exceeds 1.2 million;
7.5% of adolescents had attempted suicide in the past 6 months. All these
reveal the needs of promoting healthy mental life.
The Mental Health Association of Hong Kong is a non-profit making
agency. For the past 45 years, she has devoted herself in rendering
rehabilitation services to persons with mental handicap and mental illness; and
is presently serving more than 1,800 clients. The Association also establishes
Counseling Phoneline and organizes educational programs for the public.
Lacking of financial support, we have scheduled 24th July 1999 (Sat) for a
Flag Day to raise funds for the above services. We sincerely hope to receive
your positive response in support of our belief of 'Promote Mental Health¡D

Here is what I did. 1. From http://www.suse.de/XSuSE/XSuSE_E.html, I got the following for my Matrox G200 video card, xmatrox-2.2-0.i386.rpm xsuseconfig-981102.tgz 2. I ran alien xmatrox-2.2-0.i386.rpm which created the debian file xmatrox_2.2-1_i386.deb I install this xmatrox_2.2-1_i386.deb file, dpkg -i xmatrox_2.2-1_i386.deb 3. I uncompressed and installed xsuseconfig-981102.tgz This has the program xf86config, which will recognize your matrox G200 card. Specifically this tar file has two files, /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Cards These two files replace those belonging to the xbase package. 4. Backup /etc/X11/XF86Config, then run xf86config 4. You probably don't even need to run xf86config. If you don't mind using your old resolutions (eg, 1024x768) and the old amounts for video memory, then you need only change the first line of Xserver to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_Matrox This surprised and delighted me that I didn't need to run xf86config or alter XF86Config when going from an NEC C500 monitor and a Number 9 S3V video card to a newer Nokia 445Xpro monitor and a Matrox G200 video card. I eventually did run xf86config, though, with no real problems. This xf86config seemed to know I had 8192 KB memory. The package xmatrox_2.2-0.i386.rpm has the files /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_Matrox /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.XFCom_Matrox /usr/doc/xmatrox/copyright /usr/doc/xmatrox/changelog.Debian /usr/doc/xmatrox/buildinfo.Debian All these are uniquely matrox so present no conflicts with other files. When you upgrade packages with dselect, dselect won't know the location of xmatrox (for all practical purposes, I removed my created matrox debian package), though it knows you installed it and what its files are. When you eventually do upgrade to a version of debian with the Matrox G200 driver (maybe in March, 1999?), then you can of course purge this xmatrox package. Any upgrade of xbase will replace your two new files from suse. In the past I could more easily get my video card's driver, but once I got the xmatrox package, I found installation much simpler. For example, I did not need to do an X --probeonly to get the clocks. I am (hopefully) putting a Matrox Millennium G200 AGP in my linux box next month. I know that S.u.S.E has an Xserver for this card, but I can only find tarballs and RPMs for it. I now have two questions: 1) Is there a deb of the Matrox Xserver? 2) In the event I can't find a deb, would installing the xserver from a tarball or an RPM cause any problems with compatibility? Say with updates, other libs, etc... -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
Contents file [was Re: BE MORE SIMPLE!!!!]
But certainly this was intended to be an automated feature, right? Is it a flag that you give to dpkg, or the compiled default in some later version (I'm running 1.4.0.34, and have no Contents), or just the result of a bunch of Debian users deciding it was a Good Idea to schedule a cron job to download this file and put it in /var/lib/dpkg? The way this file was referred to in this thread, it really sounded like it was something that should exist, unless you took specific steps to remove it from your system. Have I inadvertently taken such a step? I don't know what the difference is between the available file (which does exist) and the Contents file. The former gave me the information I needed when I put it to the test, looking for software that produces thumbnail images, in response to another post on this list.

Re: kernel append options
Lazar Fleysher wrote: Could some one tell me how to find if a given kernel release supports certain append option. In particular, I am interested in 2.0.36 supports ide-scsi option. I use 2.0.35 and it has it. I use it for my IDE PD-CD drive, and have been for about two years (first as a patch to the kernel, I think). CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=y What I meant is: is it possible to use ide driver and scsi emulation (on different ide devices of course) under 2.0.x kernel? Ah, sorry. I have two cdroms both atapi. And I have read that it is possible to access them as scsi devices using ide-scsi emulation. However, when I do that, only one cdrom is detected. So I thought, I'd run scsi emulation on one of them and regular ide on the other. However, I do not see such kind of support under 2.0.x. Maybe it is impossible...? I don't know. PS What is PD-CD drive? Drives manufactured about 2 to 3 years ago, mostly by Panasonic, and available on certain Compaq PCs of that time (and other brands). The drive reads a CD or a cartrigde called a PD. The cartridge is square and contains a CD-sized disk that is 650MB rewritable. Contrary to CD-RW, you don't write ISO images on them, but rather use them like hard disks (or Zips). I typically reformat them ext2 and store Linux stuff on them. The device is still sold, but never really took off. It was too expensive. There was only a little extra to pay to get it on a new computer, but they were sold separately for something like US$450 two years ago. The cartridges were about $30 each, so quite expensive too. I'm happy I have it, because now I can buy cartridges for it for about US$8. That's a bit more that CD-RW disks, but there are more convenient. The units are now 24X or so, and can be bought for US$340. Peter
Re: Too many posts for my mailbox
My mailbox cannot handle the number of posts this list generates, especially not when I'm away for the weekend or even week. What should I do to participate in this mailing list without clogging my mailbox? Well, there are several sorts of solutions to this kind of problem. A simple one is the several accounts fix which someone already described to you. Another one, which depending on your knowledge and/or confidence with Unix you might prefer, is mail filtering. That is running a program on your Unix account to analyze mail as it arrives, and send it automatically to an appropriate folder file. I for example, recently subscribed to this list. On my shell account at college, I set up a program called procmail to automatically detect which mail goes into what folder. I set up a couple of cron jobs to delete after midnight old messages so they don't clutter up my account. However, if you happen to be new to Unix, procmail might be abit intimidating. I include below for your benefit my .procmailrc file so you can have an idea of how it works. Basically, procmail scans message headers using regular expressions, and if a message matches a condition, executes and action on it; for example, filing it to a mail folder file. (In my case, below, I pipe the message into the rcvstore command, part of the MH mailer, to put it into the correct MH folder.) I hope this gives you an idea of more options at your disposal. - BEGIN HERE - MAILDIR=~/Mail PATH=/usr/lib/mh:~/bin # Oracularities :0 * ^FROM_oracle-request | rcvstore +oracle # debian-news mailing list :0 * [EMAIL PROTECTED] | rcvstore +debian-news # debian-user :0 * [EMAIL PROTECTED] | rcvstore +debian-user # NETFUTURE list :0 * [EMAIL PROTECTED] | rcvstore +netfuture # LING-TEX mailing list :0 * ^TO_ling-tex | rcvstore +ling-tex # Anything else goes to the inbox :0 | rcvstore +inbox
I compile crappy kernels
Well, I can't seem to compile a kernel that doesn't generate an endless stream of error messages when I try to boot. Here's what I get (repeated until I reboot): kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k binfmt-464c,errno=8 request_module[binfmt-464c]: fork failed; errno 11 It would help if I knew what binfmt-464 was... I tried grepping for it in my config file, but with no luck. If anyone can offer any help on fixing these errors, I'd much appreciate it. Thanks.

I guess they figured Debian users aren't real customers. I *used* to be. Not anymore. Hope someone from Infomagic reads this thread, but they're probably too busy on the Red Hat newsgroups. I sent Infomagic email advocating the reintroduction of Debian. I compared Debian in terms of usability, technical quality, and type and amount of advertising vs market penetration to Red Hat. Debian wins hands-down on every issue except for Newbie installs on standard hardware. Isn't InfoMagic the outfit who has historically delivered broken or out of date Debian stuff on their CDs? Didn't they put the broken 1.0 on their CD without bothering to check the appropriateness with the organization? I have received Debian CDs from them that failed to be usable.

Re: A simple weird question
Hi, I'm a fan of Debian, and soon i'll have to give a speech at University talking about Linux and Debian. As our native language is not English we always have this problem... So the simple question is: How is Debian pronounced? I think pronouncing it as you would in Portuguese will be good enough. In Spanish I say Debian just like if it were a spanish word, and it's almost identical to the pronunciation the Debian web pages give somewhere.
