A hard 'i' is like the one in "like" or "wipe" or "nice." (It is 
actually a diphthong—two distinct vowels merged into a single vowel 
sound.)

There used to be an audio file out on the Web with Linus himself 
pronouncing Linux.

Naturally, pronunciation will vary from place to place, but I think only 
the uninitiated will pronounce Linux with a hard 'i'.
