We have been installing Linux and ERP systems for nearly 10 years and Unix
for 15 years before that.

Is anyone else out there interested in the commercial aspects of Linux, the
opportunities it offers and how widespread Linux is in the business
community.

If there were enough interest Ylem would be happy to offer to host a
meeting to discuss the topic

    

I'd certainly be interested in hearing from you guys what kind of growth and 
changes you've seen over the last few years - especially if you'll be 
providing food like last time ;-)

The impression I get is that use of Linux in businesses in the region has 
grown significantly over the last five years or so, but it's all been done 
fairly quietly - mainly small and medium businesses, some of whom don't even 
realise they're using it as they've bought a transparent black-box solution 
which 'just works'.

David.

  

I am keen to hear about any Linux based Epos Software especially Stuff that talks to SAM4s ER-380 tills
I have a My-SQL Database for stock already and am having to use Windows just to access the Till Data
Other-wise all my Shop Business is run using Linux.
