How do you pronounce SuSE Linux, Is it "soos ?" Or "Suzie?" or something else !

According to a German friend at work it is

Like a girls name Sue " SueSuh " with the Suh part with as much emphasis as the Sue part

So is it like SooSA then

frieza · 04-07-2002, 10:24 AM

my guess would be either 'soos' or 'seus' (like the good dr. seus of our childhood

i go by suzeh / soozer, would just pronouce it literally, but everyone i've heard say it pronounces the E specifically.

I am amazed that no one yet knows for sure How Linux SUSE should be pronounced!!

don't be so surprised. most of use can't decide on how to pronounce "linux".

The Su-part sounds pretty much like Zoo (the one with the animals). Then you go with the Z from Zoo again and add an E like in Edition.
So you end up with ZOOZE.
It the closest thing I can think about.
