Gundamdriver Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Good question. If I'm correct, it should be pronounced as "Lai-Nix". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the word "yucks" it is much hasher. If you said LinUX (with the accent on the "ux") it would sound weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the word "yucks" it is much hasher.If you said LinUX (with the accent on the "ux") it would sound weird. For me, the accent is on the first part, LINuxI can't bring myself to say the last bit as "ooks", even if that is how Linus says it. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
