Hi just wanted to point out that this should be a redirect to নোম. Gnome is pronounced Nome in English (rhymes with Home) --Peripatetic ১০:০৩, ৪ জুন ২০০৬ (UTC)

I disagree. This is an interesting trivia. Consider these sources:

• "GNOME is pronounced "Guh-'nome," as it is part of the GNU project." [1]
• "The GNOME (pronounced "Gah-NOME") project's aim is to build a complete, user-friendly desktop based entirely on free software." [2]
• "General concensus seems to feel that it is pronounced “Guh-Nome”. There are many Google hits for ‘How is Gnome Pronounced’ and most of them seem to agree."[3]
• "In English, the word "gnome" is pronounced with a silent "g". However, GNOME itself is generally pronounced as "guh-nome", just as GNU is pronounced "guh-noo" when referring to the GNU Project." [4]
• "Gnome -- pronounced with a hard "G" -- is a project developed by the Free Software Foundation that attempts to put a friendly face on an operating system..." [5]
• "The GNOME project (pronounced with a hard "G") is a collaborative software project building a complete, user-friendly DesktopEnvironment entirely from FreeSoftware components." [6]
• "The key to Gnome (pronounced guh-nome) is that it strives to be completely free: All of its components are distributed freely under open-source licenses." [7]

• And finally,

"How do I pronounce GNOME?

GNOME stands for "GNU Network Object Model Environment". GNU stands for "GNU's Not Unix", and has always been officially pronounced "guh-NEW" to minimize confusion. Since GNU is GNOME's first name, GNOME is officially pronounced "guh-NOME".

However, many people pronounce GNOME as just "NOME" (like those short people from legend), nobody will hurt you if you find this pronunciation easier." [8]
