He-he... Linus himself settled this years ago (or tried to).
Basically, he said it doesn't matter, that any of the common
pronunciations is OK: he specifically mentioned the obvious

about.  You won't likely find it pronounced that way in common
usage though, and are likely as not to have to repeat yourself if
you say it that way (unless you are from Finland).

You will be redirected -- the reason given on that page:
   Same Information - Different Name. The Linux
   Documentation Project has a new domain name. You can
   now find the LDP on the web at tldp.org. This name
   change came about due to....

And don't overlook the blinux FAQ (explore the links attached to
the messages in this list to find it).
