Word Pronunciations - Dr Small - 03-14-2007
When you see words on the internet, sometimes it's hard to figure up a pronunciation to learn how to say it, instead of type it.
I know I say some words wrong, but this is just a study to see how you say words
Here are some examples of words and the way I say them:
GNU (Gee - En - You)
Gnome (Nome)
IRC (Eye - Are - See)
Linux (Lin - ucks)
Ubuntu (Eww - Bun - Too)
So, tell me how you pronounce words, and some different words than listed here ;)

Actually, I think on the GNU's Site it also says you can pronounce it 'Guh-noo' as well.
openSUSE is 'open-su-ze'

Dunno what Chmod is. I would just say (in Danish) C H mod.
