Cost of one user in unix

Hi all,

Thanx for all who answered my cry for help and share good ideas and

point me in the right direction.

The best to answer my question is to visit sunworld.com and read the

underneath documents regarding costing in the unix world.

After reading this there is still a few calculations to do on the abacus

for the bean counters ( They do not know what is "bc" :-)

Thanx again.

Regards
