Check out SANS.org, salary.com, or anything else that lets you compare the annual salary for FreeBSD admins versus M$ admins. Then add the license costs of the M$ products in question, adjust by a fudge factor representing the difference in relative productivity, management whims, and all of the other unmeasureable factors unique to your situation. If you tell us what you're doing, how many users, and so forth, a bunch of people here can probably reel off rough estimates that will be in the right ballpark, anyway. -Chuck
