I wouldn't say the person in you example is unable to afford it, $0 disposable income just means you've chosen to spend all your money in other ways or to save it. So I don't think it's related to the question I was responding to.

Sometimes that "choice" is simply to live indoors and eat meagre meals. Oh, and perhaps to pay for the electricity to run the computer, which I suppose could be seen a s optional -- but saving that little bit of money sort of obviates the value of Ubuntu. (Oh, and in case you were hoping to read this as typical bleeding-heart liberal craptrap, I live in 80 square feet and use a computer that is looking forward to the coming Core2 family of processors. IDE drives and what's a DDR? Is that like RamBus?)
