Linux on a Used Cash Register: Reloaded
plimsoll writes "Hot on the heels of the original cash register running Linux, dumpster-diver Aaron Benoy has implemented his own GNU/Linux POS project with a twist: Ruins in ASCII, a late IBM 4694 removed from its case and reloaded with Linux to become a self-described 'video sculpture' showcasing 'an infinite loop of 180 distinct 7-second long video clips of various abandoned, ruined or otherwise vacant buildings and infrastructure' on its 9-inch paper white phosphor terminal display. Southern geeks can see it unveiled tonight at the Atlanta Underground Film Festival."
They're supposed to run Windows, but it must have got hit by that Red Hat virus. I hear there's a lot of that going around.
If you have to hire an admin for a simple Windows based POS system, then you have more serious problems to address than the software itself.
I don't respond to AC's.
