Silly, but... How do you pronounce "daemon"? I thought it was pronounced "day-mun", but an online dictionary I checked said it had the same pronunciation as "demon".
I've always pronounced it day-mun. No reason why. I guess if you look at other words with the ae combo (like algae) the pronunciation is more clear (maybe?). That's gonna be a hard habit to break.
As for Linux, I pronounce it with the short 'i'. I think it has to do with how the name Linus is pronounced around the world. Since Linus pronounces his name with the short 'i', I pronounce Linux with a short 'i'.
