Actually, SuSE being German (Software und system entwiclung (sp?)), it's pronounced Sue-Suh. As for the others: Deb-ian, kuh-nop-ix, My S.Q.L., a cross between Jen-two and Gen-two (slurring the two sounds together because I haven't decided which yet), Guh-nome, oooh-bun-two, Sig-win, Apropos (look it up in the dictionary :-P), and Me pis. The "kuh"-nop-ix and "Guh"-nome are the same sounds as in "Guh"-new (GNU) - officially documented pronunciation. Anyways, I try and stick to the "official" and "prefered" pronunciations as much as possible, but I may still be incorrect on a few. -Bryce On Sun, 2005-27-03 at 14:56 -0600, Jerry Davis wrote: > On Sunday 27 March 2005 02:34 pm, Jared Anderson wrote: > > Happy Easter All, > > > > Almost all of my Linux interactions takes place digitally; hence, the pronunciations of common *nix words may not be accurate in my mind. This theory is often reinforced by the differing pronunciations I encounter when verbally discussing Linux.
