Fedora 9 valued at $10.8B

Have you got some loose change in your pocket, and dreams of building a better operating system? It would take about 25 years, nearly 60,000 developer-years, and $10.8B to re-create a distribution like Fedora 9, according to a new report from the Linux Foundation.

So, the Kernel was written in 1991 (17 years ago), but somehow it would take 25 years to re-create Fedora 9? Obviously it could be reproduced in 17 years, if all the same decisions were made.
