No, its actally Nik -two. If your a really old school movie buff, you will remember this as the line that the robot says when it comes out of the space ship in "The Day the Earth Stood Still."

Yep, it's Li-nux. At least all the finns say Li-nux.

We don't have problems like that because we pronounce everything exactly the way it's written. :P

[/quote]

Yep, that's how it goes. We finns pronounce lin the same way as you pronounce lynn, so we automatically pronounce "linux" pretty much like you'd pronounce "lynnucks"...

It's because we pronounce the letter i as "i", not as "ai" or "ie" or something...

um... yeah... /Genie gets a headache
