I'm aware of 2 pronunciations of Linux: Lin-ux : This sounds a lot like the name Linus, except for the x sound at the end instead of an s. Li-nux: This starts out like "Lie" and ends sounding like "knocks" Just wanted to share what I've heard. |

Yes that's right. Lin-ux. ux as in Tux! Lin as in Win! WINTUX => LINUX |

It was well earned, but in my defense, I had only heard of it for the first time a few days prior. I didn't know. |

Then your books are wrong and it's time for a book burning party! 
I actually rather hate it when people butcher pronunciations, especially for common words that it would take a moron to fuck up. |

When I first began booting linux, perhaps 9 years ago, the people I learned from referred to it that way, and it has stuck ever since. More often than not I refer to it as simply nix or nux. |

I pronounce it lin-ex. and Try getting people to say Cinnamon. They pronounce it like Cin-a-mum or cin -nam-um. That really Grinds My Gears (Family Guy!) |
