Just to add a small point regarding the costings of Linux versus other OSes. One huge benefit of Linux is that you don't have to upgrade your hardware everytime a new version of the OS comes out. If you choose that you are prepared to spent the money for a performance advantage, or to be able to use that 'killer' app., then you can still put that old machine to good use. How often is the case that the supplier selling you an OS with a big markup is also supplying the hardware? Clive.
