Pronunciation

You might want to pronounce Ubuntu as its officially supposed to be pronounced: oo-BOON-too. Other than that, good job!

Heh

Thanks for leaving a comment, you might want to take a look at http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/MoS2007/01_Ubuntu where you'll see that I do explain that the official pronunciation is oo-BOON-too, but I personally don't pronounce it like that.

In my defence I'd say

a) It doesn't matter, you know what I mean, I know what I mean,
b) The vast majority of people I know - community members, employees of Canonical and non-ubuntu users pronounce it the same as me.
c) I think people get too hung up on how to pronounce things, and it can put people off when they constantly get corrected.

I know plenty of people who pronounce "Linux" incorrectly for example.

ubunu

i always pronounced it you-boon-too

In other words, a ma

In other words, a maxim to this effect--were it to become law - that any object on which the will can be exerted must remain objectively in itself without an owner, as res nullius, is contrary to the principle of right.

prounounce same

i pronounce ubuntu the same way as 'uh bun two' or 'uh bunch you' --> I hope I did that right.. :)
