How to say "Linux"

Is it Linux where `i` is pronunced as in "pit" or Linux where `i` is pronounced as in "sign" ? The argument goes on.. People swear by what they use. But which is the correct one. As the name of this widely used OS is derived from its author's name, lets here from him what he has to say on this..Here is the sound file that used to come with the "sndconfig" utility.. It says Hello, this is Linus Torvalds, and I pronounce Linux as Linux!. Here are the files. WAV MP3. I think this settles the argument, but people are just incorrigible. :-)

Is it Dinu where `i` is pronunced as in "pit" or Dinu where `i` is pronounced as in "sign" ? :P
