This week the Slackware Linux project is celebrating its 30th anniversary. It is the oldest Linux distribution that is still in active maintenance and development.

What do you mean by the cost? Because you didn’t want to wipe out your Windows OS? I’ve been running distros on my personal PC for 23 years now. Can’t say I’ve ever spent money on it except for some cheap CDs. I think I even got distro cds for cheap that came with linux magazines.
I assume the cost was of Unix and not Linux.
If you wanted to run actual Unix, there was a significant licensing fee. That’s one of the reasons Linux took off, because it did all the same things but was free.
Aaaah I understand.
