Best Answer

People around the world pronounce Linux differently. Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel, prefers the pronunciation LIN (rhymes with "win) - ICKS. You can hear a sample of him pronouncing it in the related link below. Note that at the time he recorded it, he still had a fairly strong Finnish accent, which may make it sound more like LEEN - ICKS. His accent has receded somewhat over the years, making it sound more like the former pronunciation.
