It would be pronounced “kaybin”. Like the Linux directory /sbin. It’s basically a name technical people would appreciate in a pun sort of way.

Okay, thank you. "Kaybin" is pronounceable - when you know this.

I am not very familiar with Linux. Can you tell me what /sbin means? And if kbin is a nod to that, then what does the "k" mean?
