(IBM is using Linux for POS terminals.)

Old news.  POS Terminals have been running on *NIX for decades.  There was a
brief flurry of Windows PC's running terminal emulators, but why pay $500
for the software ($250 for Windows, $250 for Rumba) when you can run Linux
instead?

(Hmmm, what's IBM's stock at today...)
