i've heard people pronounce it "soo-zzz" (like Dr. Seuss) and also "soo-zee" (like the nickname Susy)... honestly i don't know which it is... i would imagine the former, but i'm not sure... anyone???
gentoo = jen-too
debian = deb-ee-in
suse = soo-sah (Yes that is the correct pronunciation)
gnu = gah-new
linux = lin-icks(unlike a guy I work with who says lie-nicks(which drives my up the wall) He also calls mysql My-See-Quel) * Unless your from another country where the pronunciation of Linux can vary widely(Ask Mr. Torvalds)
Could I just ask, please, that anyone wishing to post here do a search for "linux pronunciation" - there are about 3 or 4 quite long threads already out there. Your questions have already been answered.
