The ELO drivers install and work fine with Windows, no problems at all. The ELO site has drivers for Linux. I have the green light to test the hardware and all the software with Linux. I am going to use Centos 5. I know the POS software we use will work on Linux and I am sure the ELO drivers will work. I have to find two more apps that work with the POS and the OS before I can start testing. -- If the word following begins with a vowel, the word you want is... to read the rest of this, go here http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/a.html
