    with a soft "G", it's named after a species of Penguin. Wikipedia says "/ˈdʒɛntuː/" if you read IPA.

    Linux Mint 14 Nadia Xfce smokes Windows on my outdated Dell D430 laptop, no matter how you slice the pronunciation, it works...all I care.

    Hi Scott, to when are you referring when you say originally? Before the 1.0 release in '94? I had a hunt through a video of the 1.0 release and from what I can tell it's the same as above ( watch?v=qaDpjlFpbfo )

    He's your father. He's EVERYONE'S father. No other male in the world has actually had sex–it's all just Chuck Norris.

    So apparently he no longer pronounces it like he originally pronounced it, and we are all wrong for pronouncing it how he originally pronounced it.

    I wanted to be strong like Chuck Norris but I now know the geek shall inherit the earth. Same goes for Hobbits when you think about it.

    But with pronunciation of Linux - according to Linus his name is pronounced "Leenus" in Swedish so Linux should be pronounced "Leenux" and not "Linux"!

    The way he said it - its "u" as in "duck" but softened and not pronounced. I didn't google this for the "nux" bit but because of confusion over the "Li" bit.
