The first syllable 'Lin' is pronounce like bin, while 'ux' is pronounced like the ux in tuxedo. Thus it is 'lehnucks', linnuks.

You can hear, or watch Linus Torvalds pronounce it himself at any of the following links:
»video.google.com/videopl ··· &q=Linux
»/r0/do ··· inux.wav

You can read debate about it at:
»Don't *Ever* Argue Again About The Pronunciation Of Linux
»Can you say Linux?
