Whenever SUSE is mentioned, I remember their songs, e.g. how to pronounce SUSE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLdexZlVkAY

I mean the song is funny but it's hilarious that they still mispronounce it.. he constantly sings susAH instead of susEH .. how it should be pronounced, at least if you pronounce it as a German word.

“Zooz-eh” for English speakers who are curious: https://translate.google.de/?sl=auto&tl=de&text=SUSE&op=tran...

the only guy I've ever known to correctly pronounce SUSE was an older fellow who was, towards the end of the 00s, pronouncing "Ethernet" with a short e, as though it were to rhyme with "meth"

anyway, that's why I'll always call it Soos even if I know I'm wrong

that guy probably also pronounced it "GIF" but it's been too long to say for sure

>pronouncing "Ethernet" with a short e, as though it were to rhyme with "meth"

Well it's a network across the ether (æther) right? :-D

And I get reminded of amogus.
