Some people pronounce it Lin-nux, while I pronounce it Lie-nux.
It is pronounced Lie-nux.

No, luv, YOU pronounce it as Lie-nux. As it's derived from Linus' name (no surprise), and Linus is definitely not pronounced Lie-nus, the correct pronounciation is, well, Linux, with Lin as in "pin".
Ignorance is no excuse, nor is arrogance.
@rsmedia It's actually pronounced Lee-nux.

So,suddenly it's "Leen-ux" not "Lie-nux"?
I don't see much problems with the longer pronounciation as "Leen" against the short "Lin" (depending on the particular accent)...
...but definitely not Lie-nux...
To admit being wrong is quite tough, eh?
