I've heard Linus' way of saying Linux quite some times back when I
used Red Hat's sndconfig tool. The test sound whas Linus saying
"Hello, this is Linus Torvalds, and I pronounce Linux
Lee-noohks"... or something lige that :-) Lee-noohks was spoken at
about the same speed as Unix :-)
Here in Denmark people always pronounce it Leeh-noohks, spoken a bit
slower than the common Unix pronounciation. Lignuks, I guess it would
be spelled - and the G is silent! :-)
