I'm not sure, but I think it would be more of a:
'seat' pronounciation.

I have always pronounced it as Lee-nux but don't know whether thats right (most people I know pronounce it that way).

In English, you can pronounce it both ways:
-) like 'wine'
-) like 'win'

I pronounce it "Line"ux, but it's creator, Mr. Torvalds, pronounces it "Lee"nux

But hey, it's all spelt the same
