I once shoe-horned a very cut down version onto a 266 MHz PII with 64 megs of RAM, but it was a text-only system used just as a very simple webserver. Now it's got a lot more RAM, and runs in graphical mode. Though it's still mainly used as a webserver, and sometimes as a jukebox. Starting things going is the main problem with such a slow machine, once they're up and running it's quite nice. Not sure whether you mean point-of-sale, or piece-of-shit, machine, with your POS acronym. But it's probably not too hard to find a better PC to do your thing with, rather than try fighting with a very low spec box. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
