lih nux
the soundcard config tool plays a wav file of linus saying it, ill admit though line ux does sound pretty cool too though ;)

Does it depend on how you pronoune the name Linus? I've always pronounced the name (ever since I began reading Peanuts) line-us, and so I pronounce linux line-ux.

Say it how you like. It doesn't matter. A fellow Linux user would know what you're talking about either way. :) Lye-nux, Lye-nicks, Lee-nicks, Lih-nucks...
