Apollogies,
you're right. I've just gotten fairly sick of the issue, had to
many people who can't spell ifconfig correcting me on my pronunciation. I
didn't mean to come across as abusive or pissed off, I'm just kind of fed
up with the whole "How does one pronounce Linux?" thing. My answer?
"however one damn well pleases, as long as the others involved in the
conversation know what you're talking about". It's just, well..., a trivial
thing to worry about.
Calm and *reasonably* collected,
Matt
