The only proper pronunciation is the one used by Linus
Torvalds himself. The name Linux is a derivative of his
name, and thus is pronounced like his name. Linus pronounces
his name "Lee-noos", so Linux is properly pronounced
"Lee-nooks".
A linguistically acceptable pronunciation is based on the
Anglicized pronunciation of Linus, which is "Lie-nus".
Hence, an acceptable Anglicized pronunciation of Linux is
"Lie-nuks".
However, there is a third common pronunciation of Linux,
which is "Lin-icks" (or sometimes "Lin-ucks"). This
pronunciation has no basis as a linguistic derivative. It
does, however, sound more like "Unix", which is probably the
reason it came about.
