How was there a TCO that wasn't $0 on my network? All of the computer's we're scavenged from dumpsters and/or stolen. All the cables were free, my internet connection was pirated, and electric was included with the apartment, which I also did not pay for. And ya know what? I didn't drive to the dumpsters either? Ergo, TCO=$0

Rowdy, what distributions did you look at?
