You seem to have forgotten the cost of development tools, image manipulation,
multimedia tools and other packages that you get along with your Linux distro. I'd bet that $500 is a little light for outfitting a Windows release with the same level of functionality that you get for $80 from SuSE. The $100 over the cost of a new computer that you mentioned basically allows you to boot the thing and connect to the Internet... you'll end up spending quite a bit more than the $100 if you want to do anything useful with your new system.
