Don't know where you're from, but, yes, in the US, "Linus" _is_ normally pronounced "line-us". True, it's not the way Mr. Torvalds is likely to say his name, but it's no more incorrect than pronouncing "Volkswagen" as "volks-waggin" (with a hard v) instead of "folks-vaggihn". -- Geek Code 3.1: GCS d- s+: a- C++ UL++$ P+>+++ L++>++++ E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t 5++ X+ R++ tv- b++ DI++++ D G e* h+ r++ y+
