Has anything ever used a .cnt extension? I sure hope so.

Brilliant! If ever I need to, I'll make sure my extensions are cnts.

What is the correct/generally accepted pronunciation of LINUX?"

Lin-ucks
Lie-nucks
Line-ucks
Lin-ooks
Lie-nooks

I've heard all of these spoken at times.

I myself say Lie-nucks, but most tend to say Lin-ucks.

.cnt is the extension for WinHelp's table of contents.
