Hei raga ho trovato un libro completo a questo indirizzo...

Leggendo l'introduzione mi son imbattuto su questo paragrafo che vi
riporto...
Before we start, though, a quick word on pronouncing "Linux." There are two
schools of thought about the i sound in "Linux"; because Linux is similar to
UNIX and was originally developed by a programmer with the first name Linus,
many assume that the long i, as in "line-ucks," is the correct
pronunciation. On the other hand, Linux was actually developed to replace a
UNIX workalike called Minix (with a short i), so the rest of the Linux
community calls the operating system "lih-nicks." Which is correct? The
original developers use the latter pronunciation, while most North Americans
prefer the former. Choose whichever you prefer. Either way, we know what you
mean.
Linux -> lainucks
Linux -> linicks
Giusto?
