There is no cost associated with linux, as it is free software. There are many off-shoots (various operating systems that are open-source, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Puppy, and so on) - all free to download, install, copy and distribute to friends without being threatened by Microsoft! The only cost is the original buying of the hardware - which would need to be paid whatever Operating system you choose.
