A gnu dawn lol.
It is very funny, but just in case there is anyone out there like me..
Having only ever seen the word written and in the context of Linux that is capitalised, I always supposed it was pronounced g.n.u. or at worst nu, and thought the wildebeest was a logo of no relation - like Linux and the penguin.
It was only later in life I found out that gnu was pronounced gah-noo and was in fact another name for wildebeests.
It's definitely pronounced without the g sound.
The animal yes, the GNU's Not Unix no. Same goes for GNOME and all derivative words.
Guh-imp.
