Um... yeah. I work for the company that I believe is the primary
reseller/installer of Counterpoint (seen at http://www.synchronics.com/
) in Hawaii. It runs much better on Linux than the other available
platforms - Windoze, Netware, and SCO Unix. Linux is the platform we
suggest/advocate - specifically, RN 7.2. We have dozens of clients, but
many of them run Windoze-based POS solutions.
