There are three main ways to pronounce ‘Linux’:

/ˈlɪːnɤks/ (’leenooks’)
This is Linus Torvalds’ original pronunciation, based on the 
pronunciation of his name in Swedish. It’s rarely used by those who 
speak English as a first language, as it doesn’t seem very ‘natural’ 
to them. There is an audio file (in MP3 format) of Linus Torvalds 
saying ‘Linux’.
/ˈlɪnʌks/ (’linnuks’)
This is now Linus Torvalds’ preferred pronunciation, as he considers 
/ɪ/ closer to the original /ɪː/ than /aɪ/. It also follows the 
pronunciation of the English word ‘linen’. There is an audio file (in 
wav format) of me pronouncing ‘Linux’ this way.
/ˈlaɪnʌks/ (’lynuks’)
The other major alternative is based on the pronunciation of the 
English version of ‘Linus’. It also happens to be the version I use. 
There is an audio file (in wav format) of me saying ‘Linux’.
