From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
Linus /leen'us'/ or /lin'us'/, not /li:'nus/   Linus Torvalds,    the author of {Linux}.   Nobody in the hacker culture has been as    readily recognized by first name alone since Ken (Thompson).
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
Linux /lee'nuhks/ or /li'nuks/, _not_ /li:'nuhks/ n.   The free    Unix workalike created by Linus Torvalds and friends starting about    1991. Tthe pronunciation /lee'nuhks/ is preferred because the name    `Linus' has an /ee/ sound in Swedish (Linus's family is part of    Finland's 6% ethnic-Swedish minority).   This may be the most    remarkable hacker project in history -- an entire clone of Unix for    386, 486 and Pentium micros, distributed for free with sources over    the net (ports to Alpha and Sparc and many other machines are also    in use).          Linux is what {GNU} aimed to be, and it relies on the GNU toolset.    But the Free Software Foundation didn't produce the kernel to go with       that toolset until 1999, which was too late.   Other, similar efforts       like FreeBSD and NetBSD have been technically successful but never    caught fire the way Linux has; as this is written in 1999, Linux is    seriously challenging Microsoft's OS dominance.          An earlier version of this entry opined "The secret of Linux's    success seems to be that Linus worked much harder early on to keep    the development process open and recruit other hackers, creating a    snowball effect."   Truer than we knew.   See {bazaar}.          (Some people object that the name `Linux' should be used to refer    only to the kernel, not the entire operating system.   This claim is    a proxy for an underlying territorial dispute; people who insist on    the term `GNU/Linux' want the the {FSF} to get most of the credit    for Linux because RMS and friends wrote many of its user-level    tools.   Neither this theory nor the term `GNU/Linux' has gained more    than minority acceptance).

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Linux          ("Linus Unix") /li'nuks/ (but see below)       An implementation of the {Unix} {kernel} originally written       from scratch with no proprietary code.          The kernel runs on {Intel} and {Alpha} hardware in the general       release, with {SPARC}, {PowerPC}, {MIPS}, {ARM}, {Amiga},       {Atari}, and {SGI} in active development.   The SPARC, PowerPC,       ARM, {PowerMAC} - {OSF}, and 68k ports all support {shells},       {X} and {networking}.   The Intel and SPARC versions have       reliable {symmetric multiprocessing}.          Work on the kernel is coordinated by Linus Torvalds, who holds       the copyright on a large part of it.   The rest of the       copyright is held by a large number of other contributors (or       their employers).   Regardless of the copyright ownerships, the       kernel as a whole is available under the {GNU} {General Public       License}.   The GNU project supports Linux as its kernel until       the research {Hurd} kernel is completed.          This kernel would be no use without {application programs}.       The GNU project has provided large numbers of quality tools,       and together with other {public domain} software it is a rich       Unix environment.   A compilation of the Linux kernel and these       tools is known as a Linux distribution.   Compatibility modules       and/or {emulators} exist for dozens of other computing       environments.          The kernel version numbers are significant: the odd numbered       series (e.g. 1.3.xx) is the development (or beta) kernel which       evolves very quickly.   Stable (or release) kernels have even       major version numbers (e.g. 1.2.xx).          There is a lot of commercial support for and use of Linux,       both by hardware companies such as {Digital}, {IBM}, and       {Apple} and numerous smaller network and integration       specialists.   There are many commercially supported       distributions which are generally entirely under the GPL.   At       least one distribution vendor guarantees {Posix} compliance.       Linux is particularly popular for {Internet Service       Providers}, and there are ports to both parallel       supercomputers and {embedded} {microcontrollers}.   {Debian} is       one popular {open source} distribution.          The pronunciation of "Linux" has been a matter of much debate.       Many, including Torvalds, insist on the short I pronunciation       /li'nuks/ because "Linus" has an /ee/ sound in Swedish       (Linus's family is part of Finland's 6% ethnic-Swedish       minority) and Linus considers English short /i/ to be closer       to /ee/ than English long /i:/ dipthong.   This is consistent       with the short I in words like "linen".   This doesn't stop       others demanding a long I /li:'nuks/ following the english       pronunciation of "Linus" and "minus".   Others say /li'niks/       following {Minix}, which Torvalds was working on before Linux.          {More on pronunciation       (http://www.foldoc.org/pub/linux-pronunciation)}.          {LinuxHQ (http://www.linuxhq.com/)}.   {slashdot       (http://slashdot.org/)}.   {freshmeat (http://freshmeat.net/)}.       {Woven Goods (http://www.fokus.gmd.de/linux/)}.   {Linux       Gazette (http://www.ssc.com/lg)}.          {funet Linux Archive (ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/Linux)}, {US       mirror (ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/)}, {UK Mirror       (ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/Linux/)}.          (2000-06-09)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Lamech       the strikerdown; the wild man. (1.) The fifth in descent from       Cain. He was the first to violate the primeval ordinance of       marriage (Gen. 4:18-24). His address to his two wives, Adah and       Zillah (4:23, 24), is the only extant example of antediluvian       poetry. It has been called "Lamech's sword-song." He was "rude       and ruffianly," fearing neither God nor man. With him the       curtain falls on the race of Cain. We know nothing of his       descendants.                (2.) The seventh in descent from Seth, being the only son of       Methuselah. Noah was the oldest of his several sons (Gen.       5:25-31; Luke 3:36).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Lines       were used for measuring and dividing land; and hence the word       came to denote a portion or inheritance measured out; a       possession (Ps. 16:6).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Lions       the most powerful of all carnivorous animals. Although not now       found in Palestine, they must have been in ancient times very       numerous there. They had their lairs in the forests (Jer. 5:6;       12:8; Amos 3:4), in the caves of the mountains (Cant. 4:8; Nah.       2:12), and in the canebrakes on the banks of the Jordan (Jer.       49:19; 50:44; Zech. 11:3).                No fewer than at least six different words are used in the Old       Testament for the lion. (1.) _Gor_ (i.e., a "suckling"), the       lion's whelp (Gen. 49:9; Jer. 51:38, etc.). (2.) _Kephir_ (i.e.,       "shaggy"), the young lion (Judg. 14:5; Job 4:10; Ps. 91:13;       104:21), a term which is also used figuratively of cruel enemies       (Ps. 34:10; 35:17; 58:6; Jer. 2:15). (3.) _'Ari_ (i.e., the       "puller" in pieces), denoting the lion in general, without       reference to age or sex (Num. 23:24; 2 Sam. 17:10, etc.). (4.)       _Shahal_ (the "roarer"), the mature lion (Job 4:10; Ps. 91:13;       Prov. 26:13; Hos. 5:14). (5.) _Laish_, so called from its       strength and bravery (Job 4:11; Prov. 30:30; Isa. 30:6). The       capital of Northern Dan received its name from this word. (6.)       _Labi_, from a root meaning "to roar," a grown lion or lioness       (Gen. 49:9; Num. 23:24; 24:9; Ezek. 19:2; Nah. 2:11).                The lion of Palestine was properly of the Asiatic variety,       distinguished from the African variety, which is larger. Yet it       not only attacked flocks in the presence of the shepherd, but       also laid waste towns and villages (2 Kings 17:25, 26) and       devoured men (1 Kings 13:24, 25). Shepherds sometimes,       single-handed, encountered lions and slew them (1 Sam. 17:34,       35; Amos 3:12). Samson seized a young lion with his hands and       "rent him as he would have rent a kid" (Judg. 14:5, 6). The       strength (Judg. 14:18), courage (2 Sam. 17:10), and ferocity       (Gen. 49:9) of the lion were proverbial.
