Nice... What was that program running on the terminal? I
couldn't see it clearly enough. If they are running OSS then
that's a good reason why they can keep their prices down, they
aren't paying for expensive software and maintenance contracts.

It becomes more and more common. The cost of Windows is staggering, with
2008 bound to be one of the most expensive ever, not to mention the
hardware requirement.
We have more then one client that migrated in the past year as long as
they do not need any proprietary software. The biggest issue I have seen
so far, connecting to Exchange mail server which is very popular and
works quite well to be honest.
