Another opinion: http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23394 <quote> I guess I'm stupid then because i pronounce it Li-nux (lie nux) because the name came from Linus (lie-nus). I refuse to pronounce it lin-ux or lin-us because i don't believe in this creative license that people take in pronouncing their name differently.... the name Linus (lie-nus) is a lot older than Linus Torvalds! Robert is pronounced raw-bert, and i don't care if other Robert's want it pronounced differently, it's how it should always be pronounced! </quote> Anurag -- __ __ gnu /noo/ n.
