Spell LINUX?

[Swordfish]

how do you spell(or pronounce) linux?

is it 'lee' nux? (lee from Bruce Lee)

or

is it like 'Lie' nux ? (lie from lie down etc)

most of my friends spell it in both ways...just wanna know which one is the right one?;)

[Bizkitkid2001]

My aunt sais it like 'lie'nux.


I say it like 'len'ux. You know, like John 'Len'non

i pronounce it like 'lynn-ux'

my dad pronounces it like 'lie-nux'

crazy world we live in...

I use Len Nux

Although they had a site with Linus Torvalds pronouncing it and it sounded like Lee Nooks when he said it.....................:confused:

still :confused: ?

well atleast i know majority speaks 'Lie'nux

I find it very very funny to say Lee Nooks...i tried using that and got abused by some of my friends...;) ...well not like our good ol english swear's but abuses like :

1.May you get lots of Fatal errors while loadin lilo

2.Hope you get a Grey screen of Death.:D

some real strange sense of humour.

Who cares? Folks that criticize your pronounciation are close minded nincompoops who think their poop don't stink. :D

When someone corrects me on pronunciation I just tell them I don't like their hairdoo either, but as long as they brought it up.... well you know the drill. ;)
