    Ever wondered how to pronounce various Linux distributions and applications? Well now you can find out

    And BTW, Ubuntu is pronounced 'oo-BOON-too' ;)

    I always pronounce Debian as "Dee-bee-un". Seemed to have the more natural and classier way of saying it. But oh well.

    And Linux will always be pronounced as Lin-ucks. As Torvalds himself has said.
