All-in-one POS device runs SUSE Linux

“NCR announced two all-in-one POS (point of sale) systems that
run Novell’s SUSE Linux for Point of Service. The RealPOS 25 and
RealPOS 50 include integral touchscreen displays and can be placed
on a counter, pole, bracket, or wall.

“NCR announced its RealPOS 25 and RealPOS 50 in conjunction with
this week’s National Retail Federation show in New York. At the
time of writing, the company still hadn’t responded to our request
for hardware details, but the new devices (left) appear to be
all-in-one versions of the RealPOS40 and RealPOS 60 announced last
July.

“The company’s release said only that the RealPOS 25 runs
fanlessly, delivering “exceptional energy efficiency,” while the
RealPOS 50 includes a “powerful and energy-efficient processor to
run the latest graphical touch-based applications.” The systems
include an integral touchscreen (size unspecified) that allows them
to function as either POS systems or self-service kiosks, according
to NCR.”
