Reminds me of the "is it 'Lee-nux' or 'Lie-nux'" debates; eventually Linus Torvalds posted audio of himself pronouncing it on his website.

It's pronounced Linux. Derived from Linus, which is pronounced Linus.

I'd guess "Lee-Lee" for "Lili" and "LIN-ux" for "Linus."

But then again, I say 'mountain' as 'Moun-tuhn' (with a soft 'tuhn') not 'Mount-ayhn' (with a more noticable 't'). Even pronunciation differences in the US are fascinating: take a look at American English Regional Differences.

The Linux analogy doesn't help, because it's too good an analogy; Linus used to pronounce it "Lee-noose" but now that he's lived in America for so long, he pronounces it "Lye-nis." The famous sound clip he put out was from the time that he was still living in Finland.

FF, exactly
