Re: LINUX - Total Cost of ownership

Linux will be less expensive than NT.

But ignore the morons who say it is free.

If you download it, that's $20 for the monthly ISP fee plus the modem and download time.

Or the price of a distribution set and such.

But you're a PhD so you'll know this already.
