How to Pronounce Linux
I am a huge Linux fan and so you are, I hope. There are a variety of Linux distributions and you can find more information about them at http://distrowatch.com/. In the IT field, you always come across with many weird, peculiar, special names with different pronunciations and meanings. "Linux" is the typical example. My lecturers pronounce it as "Lee-Naks". Some of my friends pronounce it as "Line-Nuks" or "Line-Naks". Most of the time, I hear computer scientists and software engineers read it as "Lee-Nix" and they are kind of associating Linux with its ancestor, Unix. This has always puzzled me. So I did a quick search on youtube to look for the proper pronunciation and I striked the following video. In the video, you will learn how Linus Torvald, the father of Linux pronounces "Linux".
