About La Salle Debain

This is a weblog I'm keeping about my work on Debian and any other useful Debian related info I come across. It is not meant to compete with other news sources like Debian Weekly News or Debian Planet. Mostly it is just a way for me to classify and remember all the random bits of information that I have floating around me. I thought maybe by using a blog it could be of some use to others too. Btw. "I" refers to Jaldhar H. Vyas, Debian developer for over 8 years. If you want to know more about me, my home page is here.

The name? Debain is a very common misspelling of Debian and la salle de bains means bathroom in French.

If you have a comment to make on something you read here, feel free to write to me at jaldhar@debian.org.

You can get an rss 0.91 feed of the blog here.

Pronouncing Manoj

It looks like I may have given Martin Krafft the wrong idea about pronouncing the 'ja' sound in Manoj or for that matter Jaldhar. It is like the sound in the English word 'jump'. The German 'sch' I believe is much too aspirated. It seems German doesn't actually have this sound. (Neither incidently does Finnish.)
