From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No, obviously not.
The joke and the funny song still works, but his pronounciation is simply wrong. He pronounces something like "Susa" with an a.
The correct pronounciatuon of this e goes - as another commenter already said - like the first e in 'mesmerized'.
It’s a schwa, the most common vowel in English.
I have heard that the French have created their very own pronounciation for "computer".
They say "ordinateur".
Unless there's a joke I'm missing, this a weird way to say French simply has a different word with different roots for computer.
