The Wikipedia page once said it was pronounced "Zubuntu" but as no sources were listed I always just say "Ksooboontoo" :) AFAIK no official way to pronounce it has been defined.

Or is there not a right way to say it... i.e. it depends on the geography? By the way, how is Xubuntu correctly pronounced - Ksubuntu or Zubuntu or some other way altogether?

Thank you. Is Transmission on Xubuntu (Linux) any different from its counterparts on (versions for) Windows and Mac OS X? Very good post. Thank you.

Very nice tutorial. I hadn't heard of Transmission before. If you have folks who want to try out XUbuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) on their Windows machines without installing, they can download a Microsoft Virtual PC image (566MB) from my blog: http://easyaspy.blogspot.com/2008/05/xubuntu-804-hardy-heron-virtual-pc-2007.html.

I'll correct it right away, thanks. PS. It <em>did</em> speed up later on and I've successfully downloaded the ISO using the torrent ;) Hehe, you are absolutely right, I should’ve said it’ll be much faster if more people are sharing the love (which nobody was yet doing when I made the screenshot) :).

Did no one else notice that you say it'll be much faster than a direct http download but when you took the screenshot it was downloading at 700 BYTES per second, due to complete in a week...? Hehe..
