The only proper pronunciation is the one used by Linus Torvalds himself. The name Linux is a derivative of his name, and thus is pronounced like his name. Linus pronounces his name "Lee-noos", so Linux is properly pronounced "Lee-nooks".That's what I found!

The website I found also has a good final paragraph...

In the end, it is irrelevant. You say to-mah-to, I say to-may-to. Who cares? Either way, it's still a juicy red fruit that tastes good on a hamburger. How you pronounce Linux is far less important than whether you use it or not! [/URL][URL="http://mostlylinux.ca/pronounce/"]SOURCE (http://www.paul.sladen.org/pronunciation/torvalds-says-linux.mp3)

More research finds a recording of Linus Torvalds saying,
"Hello, this is Linus Torvalds, and I pronounce Linux as Linux!"

So, without further ado, download the clip in MP3 form here (http://www.paul.sladen.org/pronunciation/torvalds-says-linux.mp3)
So I guess, the creator can't be wrong- all others ways, although accepted, are actually incorrect.

That interested me ;]
Nice thread!

[Kanakai-D]

I pronounce it lin-ux :) Oh how wrong i was.. LOL

[Shawnstra]

lin-nux ;)

[Mr.OSH]

People pronounce it differently. I say lin-ux but many people I know say lyn-ux. :)

[Tomm]

I used to pronounce it totally diffrent until (Like you posted) I heard someone actually say it ;p

[Jamesy]

i say both. altho in english grammer one "N" would make it line-ux and if it was spelt linnux, then it would be lin-ux. :P lol

[Jaiisun]

Hear Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, say it:

I say lin-ux as the founder pronounces it that way. Linux is named after Linus Torvalds or something like that
