Sort of an inverse experience for me: Last year, I took my car into Mr. Lube for the first time. The technician craned the monitor around for me to see the items he was going to work on, and the cost breakdown, recommended maintenance schedule, etc. I listened for a short while, but then my attention was fixated on the fact that the screen was showing me Gnome, running on Ubuntu! You could see the taskbar, the Gnome "start" button, and the window decorations. I asked him if he were aware that they were running Linux here, not Windows. He raised his palms and just said, "You would know more about that than I would, sir."
Now, for basic car maintenance, I only go to Mr. Lube. :)
Anyone know of any other businesses or establishments that use Linux for customer-facing or POS machines? (I'm in Canada.)
