How do you pronounce "Gentoo"? I always pronounce it like a j, Bug I have friends who pronounce it like a hard g; but is it a 'j' sound ("Jentoo") or a hard 'g' sound (like Ghentoo?) Thanx.

What are you talking about? Sarcasm is flowing from that I hope. 
Oh yeah, I use jentoo since that's the dictionary pronunciation of it which can be seen on webster.com and etc. |

| When you put "Jentoo" do you mean it pronounced "Gen" (like in generator) and "two". Thats how I pronounce it. |

Ghentoo here. Hard G. I've heard people pronounce it GEN-too, though, in real life.
