Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk We started converting our "Point of Sale" system from ESIX (SVR4 variant) to FreeBSD several months ago. We're using 486 SCSI boxes with 8MB of RAM to handle receipts and inventory, which then report nightly to one of two main offices via uucp. I just dialed into the first system we upgraded: Script started on Tue Apr 30 13:29:59 1996 : st51$~; w 1:30PM up 52 days, 2:12, 4 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT store v0 - 09Mar96 37 /usr/local/bin/lmenu -nonums -noban storem d0 - 1:29PM - script store d2 - 18Mar96 3 /usr/local/bin/lmenu -nonums -noban store d3 - 15Apr96 20 /usr/local/bin/lmenu -nonums -noban : st51$~; exit Script done on Tue Apr 30 13:30:12 1996 (running 2.1-RELEASE) Due to the success we've had with FreeBSD in the stores, we're now in the process of converting one of our 2 main offices to FreeBSD (-stable), and expect (hope) to have it done within 2 weeks. Great Job!!! (Jordan, I know I said I'd help, and I still intend to; it's strictly a matter of available time, not lack of desire).
