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?
