My personal favourite way of pronouncing it is:

Exclamation Da man himself!!
Here's how Torvalds himself pronounces "Linux".

This link redirects to a 5-second AU file where Torvalds himself pronounces it. Might wanna convert this to an MP3 and append to every MP3 file on your playlist as divine words.... j/k
