Linux Goes Ka-Ching (eWeek)

eWeek covers Linux adoption in retail businesses. "Retailers of all sizes are 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)
