'a' or 'an' before Ubuntu?

Hey guys,

I've realized that some documentation pages use 'a' before Ubuntu, and
others use 'an' (ex. a/an Ubuntu distribution).  The answer to this depends
on the correct pronuciation of 'Ubuntu'.  If it is 'you-bun-too', then 'a'
should be used, and if it is oo-bun-too, then 'an' should be used.
Unfortunately, I've never really found out the true pronuciation.  I've
looked through the style guide, but was unable to find the answer to this.
Anyone have the correct answer?

Thanks,
Nick
