The Pronunciation of Ubuntu

Tip: Ubuntu is pronounced "oo-boon-too", not "uh-bun-too". We wouldn't put up with people mispronouncing Linux, and we shouldn't put up with the mispronunciation of Ubuntu, especially since "Ubuntu" is a real word from a real language with a long and highly respected history in Africa, that just happens to also be used as the name of an operating system. You can even hear it straight from Nelson Mandela: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbgQBocg0zM, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftjdDOfTzbk Also see: danielmiessler.com/blog/this-is-how-you-pronoun... and check out the various Wikipedia entries.
