bir tane de kaynaklardan:
BTW, according to Linus Torvalds, 'Linux' should be pronounced with a
short 'i' sound, like 'prInt', 'mInImal', etc. Linux should rhyme with
Minix, another Unix clone. It should not be pronounced like (American
pronunciation of) the `Peanuts' cartoon character, Linus, but rather
'LIH-nucks'. And the 'u' is sharp as in rule, not soft as in 'ducks'.
