How do you pronounce "HP-UX"?
The Informer
still say "H-P UNIX".
Which is right?
Douglas Stetner
In my opinion, neither, it is H-pucks 8-)

I would think that if this is all that you all have to worry about, then
you have *way* too much time on your hands....

I prefer H-P-sucks, which is quite understandable.

Hope it means not "HP minus UNIX [ plus M$Windblows ]"
as the hidden marketing strategy

I honestly don't know which is right, but I have often wished that the
founders of the company named it Packard-Hewlett.

Have you tried applying the latest "name pronounciation" patch

Or better still:
"pronounciation is not supported in <version of HP-UX you happen to have>,
be sure to update to <version of HP-UX which doesn't run the mission
critical you happen to need>".

I say, "HP Unix."

HP-UX Pronounce it "H-P-sucks"
Windows Pronounce it "Window$-sucks"
Linux Pronounce it "Linux-rules" (yeah, there's a trap here)

I started with HP-UX in 1985 and then as now, we all called it H P U X.
Bo Thidé
This pronunciation was the recommended one 1982 when we started to use
HP-UX :-)

Depends on the OS version. I call it either 10.20 ( ten-twenty or ten
dot twenty ) or 11.00 ( eleven or eleven dot oh, or eleven dot oh oh).
Or H-P-U-X. Thats what the support usually calls it.

I've heard some of the old BSD people call it either
hockey-pucks
or
h-pucks
(that's phonetic, roughly). I always "spelled it out" (H P U X) when
pronouncing it until I heard Eric Allman's alternate pronunciations. Now
I kind of alternate.

Be careful - there have been drastic changes to Patching for HP-UX 11.
In addition to 32 & 64 bit name pronounciation Patches, you'll need
a lot of Dependencies and, once "committed", you may no longer be
able to return to the previous pronounciation! ;-)

When I worked in the Unix Development Labs at HP everyone called
it HPUX (spelled out).

When I took some HP-UX administration classes at HP, the

Actually "UNIX" is a licensed and registered trademark. At least
it was a few years ago...
-Bryan
Frank Slootweg
Yes, but it is licensed through X/Open Company Limited to X/Open
conformant suppliers. Hence you/we can call HP-UX "UNIX" (but not the
other way around! :-))
