“Two years ago, when Joe DeVita began running his own company,
JD Manufacturing Inc., he was developing point-of-sale solutions
and looking for an alternative to Microsoft Corp.’s Windows
operating system.
Not only did he discover Linux could be portable to the POS and
cash register solution; he also found out that Linux white boxes
could be well-positioned for the overall PC and server market.
In just two years, DeVita has changed the name of his
company to the Linux General Store and is preparing to jump from
one local site in Atlanta to 15 regional sites to deliver custom
Linux solutions.”
