Je croyais que Linux signifiait "Linus' Minix|Unix". :-)
'li' is pronounced with a short [ee] sound: compare prInt, mInImal etc. 'nux' is also short, non-diphtong, like in pUt. It's partly due to minix: linux was just my working name for the thing, and as I wrote it to replace minix on my system, the result is what it is... linus' minix became linux. Linus Torvalds, comp.os.linux newsgroup 1992
