Total Estimated Cost to Develop Debian 3.1 ("Sarge")?

191.6 billion dollars.

Yes, SLOC can be a somewhat contentious measurement seeing as it can be hard to agree what 'a line of code' is, especially when you compound the fact that identical functions can be done in different programming languages with varying amounts of code needed -- but this is still interesting nonetheless. Especially since Debian costs us all zero.
