Found this PC in Lowes.

What OS is it running?

looks like some kind of custom, minimal gnu/linux distro

probably a terminal session to an as/400 system running the company's inventory control COBOL

This is very likely considering it's all uppercase like in the olden days.

Actually they're all running a really weird, locked down version of Windows 7.

I doubt win 7 would have xterm no matter how minimal

It's definitely Linux. Might be emulating DOS though.

Yea as soon as I saw it I thought it looked like Linux.
Could it be a minimal Buntu install?

RHEL probably. The WM seems to be openbox with clearlooks theme, and the black panel at the bottom looks like tint2. That taskbar on the left side could be some sort of lightweight dock program. Never seen it before.

Second from left Firefox window is running KRONOS which is used to timestamp in/out of work.

it's a custom install of openSUSE

Lowes rolls their own Fedora distro for internal use

Just did a quick DDG search and found this >reddit post.

Wow that is pretty sweet.

Lol

Last time i went in lowes the cashiers were all running POS ready 2009.

Most major retailers just putty into a custom POS, fuck half of them are just dos

nigger just run:

$ uname -a

it'll tell you everythiing

Lowe's has been running Linux on its POS systems for years. Since 2010, at least, though probably longer.

Anyway to get a copy from the tubes?

was gonna say redhat
surprised no one mentioned either
honestly what else could it be

I was only there for a quick second

Ok

uname -a isn't always that interesting, especially if they're running custom kernels

try something like
$ cat /etc/*release*
$ cat /etc/issue
next time

Locked down debian

Some kind of weird dodge stratus

Thanks sure will. Is it possible to get in trouble with the store?

Just from looking at the mouse pointer makes me think this runs some version of Windows 7

lowes has been using linux for awhile now. i remember seeing linux on their computers back in 2007 when i was still in high school.

Looks like Docky or something on the left side of the screen.

is there really no way to install a as/400 server in your PC?

Looks like tinycore.

>leaving a company computer wide open
Someone needs to give these people a lecture on basic computer security

Probably Windows 98 or some shit.

>speaker icon
kind of linux..

we've come full circle boys.

there's literally nothing there to damage or steal, why would you have to secure it?
