Exactly, who really cares HOW you say Debian Gnu/Linux ? getting bent over
the pronunciation of a couple of words is, quite frankly, stupid. Really,
who cares, pronunce it Deb-Ian Gu-new Lee-Nooks if you want to, caill it
DEE-bian NEW LEEN-uhcks if you want to. Does it make any difference in the
quality of the software? no, it dosen't, So, untill someone (say Linus)
comes out with an authoritative pronunciation, could we just leave this
alone and get back to improving the operating system we ALL know as Linux?

Just Don't call it Fred, then nobody'll know what we're talking about.[2]
