    Yeah. People who design a technical instrument or a POS system are just thrilled by the notion that some hacker can slip in a different OS. That cash drawer interface code is really cool, and as soon as it's in the kernel source tree people will be able to make boot floppies with an 'eject' command and have loads of fun hacking.
