[News] How GNU/Linux Saves a Lot of Money

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

How much have you saved by using GNU/Linux?

,----[ Quote ]
| With GNU/Linux, I've spent a total of $A210 - $100 for a second-hand HP e-PC 
| which does the work of a back-up server, and $110 for some extra RAM for my 
| Cobalt server which does most of the other work. All my hardware has been 
| hand-me-downs. The software, needless to say, is all free.   
| 
| With Windows, the amount spent, at a conservative estimate, would have been 
| in the region of $A10,000 - a fairly big amount for a poor man like me to 
| spend on a hobby.
