Did a quick search on freshmeat for Point of Sale and came up with 7 projects - http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=point+of+sale§ion=projects
There's also an open source accounting project called Nola. There's a review at http://www.linuxworld.com/site-stories/2002/0225.xterminal13.html and the homepage is http://nola.noguska.com/. I know its not specifically a POS product but it looks great for the accounting backend. Although it does mention POS in its description: " The NOLA web based software package allows your business to effortlessly reach further than previously thought possible. NOLA provides your company's accounting, inventory, point of sale, contact management, billing, puchasing, and reporting all in one integrated package. NOLA takes e-commerce to the next step, allowing for real time inventory quantity updates. Users are able to do ANYTHING from ANYWHERE." BTW I have no connection with NOLA. It just looks like a great open source product to me. Hope that helps. On Tue, 9 Jul 2002 09:07:20 -0500 (CDT) "Jeff Roberts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am interested in this also.
