<p class=MsoNormal>There was a big hullaballoo in '99 or 2000 when autozone
converted all of their pos terminals and back-end systems to red hat.
There are quite a number of bigger companies that use linux for pos and
accounting - I agree though that it's relatively odd to see a small business
using it in that role. Did you happen to find out what software they were
using aside from RH? <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>On a lighter side of things, noticed that Key Liquors in the
Value Plaza<br>
has Red Hat-powered POS terminals -- there is a "Powered by Red Hat"<br>
sticker on both of them :) Thought it was a bit interesting to see POS <br>
terminals powered by Red Hat or any distro of Linux for that matter.<br>
<br>
Enough of my rambling. Have a great, sunny morning everyone!<br>
