Question 1.6. How should I pronounce Linux ? 

.... For the benefit of those of you who don't have the equipment or
inclination: Linus pronounces Linux approximately as Leenus, where the ee is
as in feet but rather shorter and the u is like a much shorter version of
the French eu sound in peur (pronouncing it as the u in put is probably
passable). 

Many English-speaking people pronounce it Lih-nucks, rhyming with the
English word cynics. This is the pronounciation Linux Journal uses.
