Pronunciation of common Linux-related words
In an effort to not sound like a newbie when speaking verbally about
Linux-related terms, I would like to know how to properly pronounce
these words. I've been training a co-worker on server management and
have run into quite a few terms for which I didn't quite know the
proper pronunciation.
Also I think I know the correct way to say some of these but I really
want to make sure, so I'll put those in the list too.
named = name-dee
pxe = pixie
Debian = deb-ee-inn
bind = bind, bin-dee, or ?
lilo = lie-lo, lill-lo, lee-lo, or ?
SQL = ess-cue-ell or sequel
MySQL = My-ess-cue-ell (according to an old FAQ on MySQL's site)
PostgreSQL = post-gress-cue-ell or ?
FAQ = eff-ay-cue or fak
etc = et-see
usr = user
lib = lib or lieb (short vs long i)
proc = prock
init = inn-it
daemon = demon, day-mon, or ?
kde = kay-dee-ee
gnu = new, guh-new, or ?
gnome = nome, guh-nome, or ?
vi = vee-aye or vye
passwd = password or pass-w-dee
irc = i-r-c, irk, or ?
Thanks for your help! (...and I hope I don't inadvertently start a battle. :-)
