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?

On a lighter side of things, noticed that Key Liquors in the Value Plaza
has Red Hat-powered POS terminals -- there is a "Powered by Red Hat"
sticker on both of them :)  Thought it was a bit interesting to see POS 
terminals powered by Red Hat or any distro of Linux for that matter.

Enough of my rambling.  Have a great, sunny morning everyone!
