How do you pronounce Linux?

Lie nux?
Lie nix?
Len nux?

14. Most things on it. BTW, I don't think security is that great on Linux.

15. I like to look under the hood.

All the proprietary software I've ever used has come and gone, but 'nix is forever.

16. LINN-ux

To rhyme with LINN-us, that is Linus Torvalds, the originator of the project. He's Finnish so his name is not pronounced the way it would be if he were american. But he says he doesn't mind if people pronounce it LIE-nux.
