How Do YOU say Linux?

[Radiotubes]

I always say Linux

Seriously

Phoenitically speaking, I personally pronounce Linux: "line" like in the word "line" and "ucks" like in the word "bucks" Line-ucks Linux.

I've heard many people pronounce it "Len" (like in the work Lenght)- "icks" (like in the word "kicks") Len-icks.

My thinking: Linus T......His name would be pronounced like the Charlie Brown "Peanuts" character. phoneitically Line-isssss

Hmmm, something to think about.

Well, according to a famous soundbyte, Linus Torvalds pronounces it as LEEnooks. But, he's also from Finland.

How to pronounce Linux like Linus Torvalds

I generally pronounce it as Linucks, where LI sounds like "lemon" and Nucks sounds like "ducks."

[elija]

I tend to say l-eye-nux

I tend to say l-eye-nux

had a microsoftie tell me that was how it was pronounced he spent a lot of time correcting me with buzzwords. like spooling a print job he called something else i cant remember.

[Radiotubes]

I have heard several different versions. elija, your phonetic spelling is pretty much what I use. I suppose it's: "you say tomato(Toe-May-toe), I say tomato (Toe-mah-toe)." <singing> "let's call the whole thing off!"

I suppose it would honor the creator to say it as he pronounces. Thanks for that link 'Moe.

I pronounce it "lin-ux" (the lin as in links). Most Linux users I know pronounce it that way or say "line-ux".

[Geeth]

I say Lin-ux just the same as daark.child stated
