Open Source Linux Based POS Systems?

tha_mink asks: "I am currently working for a number of clients that have very similar needs for a cost-effective POS system that may be integrated online. (read : cheap if not free) These are all small business clients with small budgets and so I would like to suggest something Linux-based, with a nice GUI, and a database I can get at through the web (PostgreSQL would be great). I have searched for and read the past Slashdot articles on the subject only to find that they are old and out of date. I have also done numerous google searches only to find that there is not a clear leader. My clients don't really need things like payroll and purchasing but inventory control, accounting, and customer storage are important. So I ask: What systems are available to fulfill the needs of small business without breaking the bank and without requiring any software from Redmond?"

The guys (guy?) who wrote this is in Sundre - that's got a population of about 700..

I drove through Sundre once.. but I missed it because I blinked..

Whoda thunk something calling itself "Linux Canada" would be based in something that doesn't even have mail carriers?
