Question

How is linux pronounced?

Answer

μClinux (which stands for MicroControllerLinux and is pronounced as you-see-Linux) is a fork of the Linux kernel for microcontrollers (µCs, embedded systems) without a memory management unit (MMU). Originally derived from version 2.0 (1996) of the Linux kernel, it now has ports based on Linux 2.4 and Linux 2.6. Since version 2.6 of the Linux kernel, the major parts of uClinux have been integrated with the mainline kernel for a number of processor architectures. The project continues to develop patches and supporting tools for using Linux on microcontrollers. uClinux has support for many architectures, and forms the basis of many products, like network routers, security cameras, DVD or MP3 players, VoIP phone or Gateways, scanner, card reader.
