How Do You Pronounce Arch Linux?
How do you pronounce Arch Linux? Is it Arch as in architecture or Arch as in archery? Or something totally different?

Re: How Do You Pronounce Arch Linux?
It pains me to hear people say Ark Linux.
Almost as painful as Slatchware.

Re: How Do You Pronounce Arch Linux?
I've always pronounced it as arch as in archery; I mean, the freakin' logo used to be a blue arch, c'mon!

Re: How Do You Pronounce Arch Linux?
Hmm.. I posted links to previous discussions on this topic in the hope that people would realise that this thread is superfluous.
