The coupon kiosks in Jewel (US grocery chain) are running FC 4. I
actually saw one of them crash and recover and run through a Fedora
boot screen. I'm not sure if they are self contained or simply thin
clients. They scan in the bar code on your savings card and generate
a customized coupon list. I am unaware of what the back-end is
running (i.e. Oracle, MySQL, etc...)
