I thought I'd make myself<br>> popular by correcting you all! But the page I found says 'lynucks' is<br>> widely used and accepted.<br>> <br>> http://safalra.com/science/linguistics/linux-pronunciation/<br>> <br>> A long time ago now, I used to pronounce it 'lynuks' but eventually<br>> looked it up out of curiosity and the page I found then, informed me<br>> 'linnuks' was THE only correct pronunciation and 'lynuks'<br>> consequently became an indicator in my mind of a newbie ;-)<br>> <br>> So there you go, I'll grudgingly allow you to pronounce it how you like,<br>> but if you're pedantic about these things then perhaps Linnus will<br>> offer authoritative assistance:<br>> <br>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IfHm6R5le0<br>> <br>> James.<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Kent mailing list<br>> Kent@mailman.lug.org.uk<br>> https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/kent<br><br /><hr />View your Twitter and Flickr updates from one place – <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/137984870/direct/01/' target='_new'>Learn more!</a></body>
