But how do I pronounce Gentoo?

[kaoru392]

@4znPpl with a soft "G", it's named after a species of Penguin. Wikipedia says "/ˈdʒɛntuː/" if you read IPA.

[hypothetisch]

Look in the related videos on the right. He pronounces it differently himself there, more like the 'Swedish' version.

And that soundbyte was standard in every linux system to test your sound card.
