This is How You Pronounce Ubuntu

I just read the entire comment thread. A bunch of people who care enough to argue about the pronunciation of technical jargon online, and only one of them cares to use a phonetic alphabet like IPA or X-SAMPA?

Hint to internet language nerds: When you say, “Lih-nuchs” or “DEH-bee-en” or “LIN-ux” it is not clear how you’d pronounce that, when the pronunciation is the whole point.
