And for starters heres:
Counting Potatoes
In this paper, we use David A. Wheeler's SLOCCount system to determine
the number of physical source lines of code (SLOC) of Debian 2.2 (aka
potato). It is also shown that if Debian had been developed using
traditional proprietary methods, the COCOMO model estimates that its
cost would be close to $1.9 billion USD to develop Debian 2.2.
