But I pronounce Linus as in Lie-nuss, same as the guy in the peanuts
cartoon strip :-)

: ..... This is a silly debate ;).

It certainly is. :-) I've been saying Lie-nucks since I started using it
3+ years ago.  But it seems to me that the Lin-ix pronounciation is
winning here in Brisbane, and all the people who I have talked too from
other aussie LUGs have said Lin-ix.  I guess we Lie-nucks sayers are a
dying breed (why does that remind me of Monty Python? :-)
