I am working on the same thing roughly for table service restaurants. Multi printers through RS-485 so that the older printers can be reused as most restuarants have twisted pairs already in place. Use a lightweight browser (I like Opera for this), keep the graphics light and reuse them to allow the clients to cache the majority of them. It helps immensely with the page speed. Having a fast backend is also important. Not so much the machine but thedb engine. I am using mysql at the moment but I will probably switch to postgress for the roll back capability. -- Patrick Rea Toronto, ON, Canada ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Stuff, things, and much much more. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
