Cost of my Linux system vs Mac System
May 29th, 2009
I have been regularly using Ubuntu Linux and Mac OS X Leopard on my iMac and MacBook for about a year now. During that time I have found Linux tools to complement my Mac tools so I can do just about everything I need on either system. Given that, I thought it would be interesting to compare the cost of each system.
Mac Software: $3,622.55
Linux Software: $0.00

Can you make a list or post your calculation?
‘Cause it sounds freetarded like “cost of a new macbook pro vs ubuntu free cd”.

No, there is no hardware in that calculation, just software.

That’s just the purchase price. Now take into account any upgrades. I am now on my 6th upgrade of Ubuntu. This is not just the OS, but all the software I use.
Factor that in !!!
