It is an interesting question. The fact o the matter is that Linux is
named after Linus Torvalds. The predominant pronounciations of Linux
are: 'LINE-ix' and 'LI-nucks', but the name Linus (in Helsinki at any
rate) is pronounced 'LEE-noose'. So the 'correct' pronounciation of
Linux should technically be 'LEE-nukes'
I counter your 'correct' pronunciation with a WAV file from Linus
Torvalds. Let him decide ;)

That's the one I referred to. Note how similarly he pronounces "Linus"
and "Linux."
I don't feel it's necessary to mimic his accent.
