How to read the Linux system name?

http://blog.youkuaiyun.com/isinstance/article/details/52522094

This is really instersting question, the Linux system like Debian is the project founder Murdock Ian and his wife Debra’s name initials.

The Debian take the Debra Deb letter, plus the formation of Ian.

So, the important thing, how to read this name?

Debian

The Debian system is [‘dɛbɪrn] and it read like Chinese Pinyin [‘di bian’].
CentOS

The CentOS system name made of Cent and OS, the name “Cent” in English is a name of unit, like “30 cent” can buy a rice, or the bank’s profits plunged by “87 per cent”(87%), so we can read the name like [sɛnt].
Ubuntu

The Ubuntu system is very popular in many Linux user, as well as Linux Mint, has a large number of user support, the name comes from the South African Zulu progenitor or Hausa word “Ubuntu”, meaning “human nature”, “I am because we are”, (actully I don’t know what’s the meaning of the two words), is a kind of value of traditional African view, similar to the Chinese society “benevoilence”.So, we can read this name like [ʊ’bʊntʊ], in Chinese Pinyin is like [‘o ban tiu’].
Linux Mint

The Linux Mint system, as well as Ubuntu system ,has a large number of user support, and I write this md file in Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon desktop, use the mango IDE, thanks for the author of mango and all the Open Source developer, so the word Linux Mint made of Linux and Mint, the mint in English is a food name, we all know the gum “Doublemint”, so, we can read this like [mɪnt], also, we will give the Pinyin [‘man te’], and in here, I’m not sure that all of us can read the correct pronunciation of Linux, is made for Linus Benedict Torvalds’s name and the OS Unix, the correct reading is [‘lɪnəks], the Chinese Pinyin is [‘lin nai ke si’].
openSUSE

The openSUSE system, ok, this is very simple, you just have to know, the name SUSE is a company name, this company sponsored the development of openSUSE, and the SUSE we can read like [‘suːsə’], in Chinese Pinyin is [‘su sai’].
Kali

The Kali system, was customized by Debian, designed for digital forensics and penetration testing and hacking, we can read this like [‘kɑ:lɪ], and in the Chinese Pinyin is [‘ka li’].
Fedora

The Fedora system, by the Project Fedora community development, Red Hat lnc sponsored, I think everyone know the Red Hat system, but few people know that Fedora also is the name of a hat, have to mention is that CentOS also is a Project from Red Hat, and we can read this like [fɪ’dɔ:rə], also we will give the Chinese Pinyin [‘fei de ruan’].
Gentoo

The Gentoo system, the pirsuit of the ultimate configuration, performance, as well as the top user and developer communities, are the hallmark of the Gentoo experience, it is a bit like Arch. In English, the Gentoo always represents the name of a penguin, just like the Linux system’s mascot penguin, we can read this like [dʒen’tu:], in Chinese Pinyin is [‘zhen tu’].
Arch

The Arch system, compared with other issues, Arch’s technology is very advanced, Arch’s package system allows you to easily create your own software package, which makes it very easy to re compile a new package in a specific configuration(As a matter of fact, I don’t really know what that means).So, we can read this like [ɑ:rtʃ], in Chinese Pinyin is [‘a chi’].

NOTE:

Why this is English?

Beacuse my Linux system is too lazy to install Chinese input method, perhaps I think I don’t need it.
What is Pinyin?

Pinyin is Chinese characters phonetic Latin scheme(Don’t ask me how I translated it).
The author of this article is American?

The author has started to write scripts, live up everyone’s expectations, I am a Chinese developer and just too lazy to install Chinese input method.
About Chinese version?

For the rest of the later.
