Interesting how Linus seems to be losing his accent.  There was a 
sample audio file included in older versions of Red Hat Linux that had 
Linus saying, with a fairly heavy Scandinavian accent, how to pronounce 
Linux, and back then, it was more like Lee-nooks.  He now seems to 
prefer the more Americanized Linn-ucks pronunciation.
