"Lie-nux, or Lyn-ux"?, the final word...

OK, I've had this discussion with a few people. Is it "lie-nux, or lyn-ux"??

/ˈlɪnʌks/ (‘linnuks’)

This is now Linus Torvalds’ preferred pronunciation, as he considers /ɪ/ closer to the original /ɪː/ than /aɪ/. It also follows the pronunciation of the English word ‘linen’.

There's your answer - now go away..
