Interesting, I guess it depends how you pronounce things. I would pronounce Bali as in Bali Hai (sp?) from an old show or movie or something, where Bali is like B(Hal) Lee. Is there an official pronunciation of Bali and Kali as in the distros? Anyway, not a big deal, I think I'll just think of it like in Bali Hai.
