Wireless POS (Point of Sale) For Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Research has shown that the number of POS (point of sale) terminals
| running Linux in North America has increased 80% since 2002. For
| hospitality providers, there?s good reason to go with Linux.
|
| As an operating system, Linux is more cost effective, flexible, and
| allows for greater freedom of choice in software than more
| mainstream operating systems. Savings can also be found in
| regards to licensing, installation, administrative and support costs.
|
| [...]
|
| This approach is less expensive because it doesn't require separate
| servers for hand-helds and traditional registers, translating in even
| more savings for hospitality operators. Wired or wireless, Linux or
| Windows, networked or independent terminals, Volanté is up for the
| challenge.

saturated with Linux in that area.
