If you ever installed an older version of redhat and setup a sound card, youd
know how everything's pronounced :D
I always called it 'linnix' , but have taken recently to call it Lee-nooks - I
guess Id call Linus 'Lee-noos' if I ever met him, but thats now a confusing
situation because I believe he has altered the pronounciation to the more
common 'Lie-nus' because he got sick of correcting people.
Someone go call Linus 'Lee-noos' and see if he corrects you :D
