actually, I thought it was. It's the same way Linus Torvalds pronounces his name, and he named it, so he pronounced it like his name.


Linus Torvalds pronouncing Linux
alright, so we're technically both right because after listening to that, I see that his pronunciation is so similar, it's only different because of his accent versus an english speaker's.

Kind of like how Sir George Everest, whom the mountain of the same name is named for, pronounced his name "EVE-rest" and not "Ever-est".

I once read a programming book which said that DOS should be pronounced like the Spanish word for "two".

My uncle probably would've had something to say to that, because he actually helped create DOS. :D
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.
