Cost of software as a ratio against hardware matters.  I recently
assembled a 'worthy' machine for about $300.  Red Hat Enterprise
Linux ES Basic Edition with Management Service costs $222.50/year
for 1 system which is a mismatch in my mind.

There are reals costs to RH and others so I know that they must
charge something.  One real cost is bandwidth another is simply
the book keeping to cash a $20.00 check.

This brave new world demands some inventive solutions where cost
of software/hardware-cost results in a number that can stay at or
below 10%.

Now if I could only get the price of my ISP down!
