[SLUG] Answer to the most important LInux question ever!

[Al Girling]

Hi,

I've just started an online course to learn how to use Linux at;

http://basiclinux.net  

This is an extract from the course overview.

BTW, according to Linus Torvalds, 'Linux' should be pronounced with a short 
'i' sound, like 'prInt', 'mInImal', etc. Linux should rhyme with Minix, 
another Unix clone. It should not be pronounced like (American pronunciation 
of) the `Peanuts' cartoon character, Linus, but rather 'LIH-nucks'. And the 
'u' is sharp as in 'rule, not soft as in 'ducks'.

Perhaps easier to grasp: think of the names 'Lynn Nooks' (rhymes with 
'books') for the pronunciation of 'Linux'; and 'Lee Noose' (rhymes with 
'moose') as how Linus pronounces his name - with a charming Swedish accent, 
of course ;-)

Toodle pip,
