[luau] Linux POS

[R. Scott Belford]

Funny you should ask and how bad of me to respond at the exact moment that I 
need to be heading to the new store to install the key piece of this paused 
project.  I have been waiting to have an extra POS terminal that I could test 
on without disabling one of our registers.  This has now been installed at 
our training/r&d facilities in a new store.  The new store has taken longer 
than expected to inhabit, but it is today that Dean and I install all the 
registers, etc.  I now have a dual boot test register to get back on the 
horse with.  It is in a room where work can be done without bothering our 
sales staff.  I can bring anyone interested in helping in to take a look at 
it.  It is the same location where the LTSP lab2 has been set up.  More to 
come when I am caught up.  Suffice it to say the Pricebuster's and the staff 
of Julie and Robert in our new store as well as ownership have been supremely 
supportive of both the Linux POS and the LTSP project .  This is fortunate 
for all of us.

I am so thrilled that you asked. While I will be away from the terminal for 
the rest of the day, rest assured that more is to come with this.  Thanks.  
Out the door now.
