eWeek covers Linux

investigating the use of Linux on POS, or point-of-sale, systems to provide
some flexibility in their software deployments and lower operating costs by
avoiding licensing fees. Cost savings is crucial in the world of retail,
where life is lived on razor-thin margins." (Thanks to Ashwin N)
