Subject : how to pronounce "LINUX" ??? Message : Hey, anyone knows how to pronounce this word? I found on the webs, many of ways to pronounce this word. like three different ideas --------------------------------------------- http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/supergeek/story/0,24330,2189480,00.html but I don't know this is true or fake. --------------------------------------------- [Mike Orr] There are at least three common pronunciations, and none are authoritative. Because Linus is an ethnic Swede from Finland, he pronounces it with a short "ee" sound we don't have in English. Some people pronounce it "Line-ix" like the English version of Linus. Others pronounce it "linnix", trying to imitate the Swedish. Now that Linus has been in the US a few years, he's starting to adopt an American pronunciation. When I saw him speak at LinuxWorld in 98, he pronounced his name "Line-us" and his OS "linnix". Even when he used both in the same sentance. However, he has said he doesn't care how people pronounce it. He just wants people to use it.
