To which Hall gave a few examples on how to pronounce it, how Torvalds pronounced it, and said that Torvalds really didn't care what name (e.g. Linux vs. GNU/Linux) or pronounciation you use, as long as you used the system. ;-)=

Yes, that's the contents of the famous sound file by Linus where he
says exactly that. Although Jon pretends that this sound file was
recorded after they spent some time and bottles of beer in the sauna
at Linus' home in the north! (during an exhibition I spent a week with
Jon and other such people and he told us zillions of anecdotes such as
this one :)
