</div></div>Okay, once again, this seems to be a popular subject. The pronunciation<br>
of Xubuntu is exactly the same as Ubuntu with a "z" in front of it. The<br>
correct pronunciation of Xubuntu is "zoo-BOON-too" with the leading "x"<br>
pronounced as a "z". This follows the same rules as "xylophone", a<br>
musical instrument which is never pronounced "ksylofone", but rather,<br>
always "zylofone".<br>
<br>
For more information about this, please see the official documentation<br>
at <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/about-ubuntu/C/about-ubuntu-name.html" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/about-ubuntu/C/about-ubuntu-name.html</a> .<br>
<br>
Thank you for your interest in getting this pronunciation correct.<br>
