How do you pronounce Linux? |

Lie nux? Lie nix? Len nux? Len nix?
I give up. Anybody know the proper way to pronounce this word?

14. Most things on it. BTW, I don't think security is that great on Linux. |

15. I like to look under the hood. |

All the proprietary software I've ever used has come and gone, but 'nix is forever.

3. Never hear anyone say it aloud before. The only time it comes up |

To rhyme with LINN-us, that is Linus Torvalds, the originator of the project. He's Finnish so his name is not pronounced the way it would be if he were american. But he says he doesn't mind if people pronounce it LIE-nux.
