That in no way SOUNDS right. The intelligent decision would have been to use a short "i" since the word is NOT spelled Line-ux. There is not "e-" in Linux, so intelligently it's a short "i", and it in no way sounds intelligent with a long "i". Every person i've heard pronounce it with a long "i" sounded completely ridiculous to me.
Okay, that's IT! If anyone has ever run sndconfig (and if you haven't, do it just to see the point i'm going to make), you'll hear the Linus himself pronounces Linux LIN-ux! Not Ly-nux! Yes, his name very well might be pronounced Ly-nus, and yes, great argument, but HE HIMSELF pronounces it for you in sndconfig, and it IS LIN-ux! End of story!
