How do you pronounce Ubuntu?
Ubuntu, an African word from Zulu and Xhosa, is pronounced "oo-BOON-too". See the other FAQ on its meaning, it's a worthwhile read, and no, you're not the first person to wonder. :-)

Ha ha! Scrym isn't perfect!
The funny thing is, I say Ubuntu versus Uboontu about 50/50 most of the time. The problem I've run into is that, out in the workforce, people honestly don't know what I'm talking about if I use the latter... So I've kind of gotten this habbit of saying it incorrectly...
(These are the same people who think Ethereal is pronounced "Ether Eel").
