Linux is free.  You just have to download it, which could take days.

The versions they offer in the stores usually are at a minimal cost.
$50 or so will get you printed docs (the book), and several CDs full of
source code, executables, documentation, games, and other applications.

Regards,
Joey

PS.  Did you ever buy a prairie dog?  Move to Phoenix yet?  Hows the pup
doing?
