Chucky Cheese Runs Linux!
,----[ Quote ]
| I was at Chucky Cheese a couple weeks ago with my kids, and was having mine
| and my kid's picture drawn by Chucky Cheese at the little Picture taking
| machine when it crashed on me. We called the man over to look at it, he
| opens it up, reboots it - lo and behold, it's a Redhat variant of Linux
| booting up in front of my eyes!

Nando's goes Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| Nando's has revamped its ICT infrastructure and restaurant connectivity
| using Open Source in order to improve productivity. "The [previous]
| solution was not providing head office with accurate and reliable
| communications on a regular basis. This would often result in staff
| having to manually retrieve the missing information from each restaurant,"
| explains Yossi Hasson, sales and marketing director at Synaq.
|
| The revamp incorporates a new Linux-based solution and connectivity
| across its network. The project was outsourced to Synaq, a provider
| of managed Linux services and Open Source software.
|
| Nandos has 230 restaurants nationwide and each restaurant is required
| to forward detailed information from their Point of Sale (PoS) system
| directly to head office on a daily basis...
