Here in Australia, SAS modules for Windows NT/2k Server (i.e. multiuser) are about 3-4x the cost of the same SAS modules for Windows NT/2k Workstation/Professional (i.e. single user). Are you saying that SAS for Linux (i.e multiuser) costs even more than SAS for Windows NT/2k Server (i.e. multiuser)?

AFAIK, there is no version of SAS for Linux (i.e. single user) because Linux doesn't make arbitrary, marketing-driven distinctions between single-user and multi-user systems.
