Sun Microsystems is attaching itself to Linux's growth in the retail market with today's announcement that it has made inroads into five chain stores by teaming up with Tomax Corporation. There's a good reason Sun has been porting its Solaris server to the Linux operating system. Tomax predicts that "80 percent of the new installations of our retail product will be on Linux," Steve Klingler, vice president of outsourcing at Tomax, told LinuxInsider.

"For example, Kelly-Moore Paints, a retail chain with 160 stores, used to run a Windows server in every store."
I saw a posting in another forum stating that this was incorrect and Kelly-Moore Paints wasn't running a Windows server, in fact they were using SCO Unix.
I have no personal knowledge of the situation and just submit this for your edification.
