Thumbs up

I have tried googleing it and asking about it. It is a question that has been asked a thousand times, yet no real answer just opinions. So The question relives, What is the real and correct pronunciation of the word SUSE?

I have heard it being called SUZIE,(What i always thought it was) SUSS, ZUZE, SUSOO, SUS-I and countless others. What do you guys think or know?

The germans that I used to work with pronounced it soos-uh (with the accent on the first syllable)

I still tent to pronounce it seus (like dr seus)

Does it really matter though? You can pronounce Linux leenooks, lyenux, linucks. It still rocks.

Well, I can't argue with swerdna! Suzy it is!

I've been calling it that all along, in spite of what my German friends have been saying. It is typical to anthropomorphisize any thing that you like. So, it's been Suzy (or in my case, Susie) from the beginning. :lol:

It appears that the German devs & Novell pronounce it something like sue' zuh.
But you could call it 'fred' or 'bob' if it's easier for you, or anything else as you'd like.
