      We are looking into moving from a windows OS to Linux.

      We have a quote for a windows cluster environment and Linux cluster.

      The quote for Linux is about 15k more. I am curious about where the savings are with Linux.

          I’m also not sure why a Linux cluster would be more expensive.

          Here’s an idea.  Buy the Windows cluster, wipe the hard drive, and install CentOS Linux for free.  Then sell the Windows licenses on Craigslist.
