Just wondering how everyone else says/thinks it in their heads.

Oo - boon - too

the "boon" sound is the same as the oo in "cook", if that makes any sense...

just wondering if I'm saying it right/wrong :)

How you say 'cook', depends on the person. When I read 'boon', I read it as "a spanking breeze is a boon to sailors" (not the same as most people pronounce cook).

I pronounce Ubuntu as "You Bun Two" as I find that the easiest most pleasing.

For some reason I'm never consistant. I pronounce it in both the major ways, interchanging them with thinking about it.

uh-buhn-too

That looks more like how I say it :)

I forgot about the Mandela video...

I tried searching, but found nothing

oo-bun-tu or you-bun-tu, I vary :D

oo-bun-tu's my preference personally.
