I'm not an expert on the subject, but I think the pronounciation depends
on whether you speak Swedish or not :-)
The way Linus pronounces it (as far as I can remember at this moment,
he'll flame me if I get it wrong, I'm sure), is that the 'lin' part is
pronounced like the 'lin' of linen. The 'ux' part is more difficult, it
probably is the same sound as you would use if the first part would be
pronounced 'line'.
Perhaps we should get Linus record it on audio tape, and sell those
tapes :-)
