The IBM RS6000 (and IBM RT before that) have been around a long time. These
machines usually ran AIX IBM's version of UNIX), but some ran Linux (Red
Hat) more recently.
The RS6000 in a grocery store setting -- serves as the database server (e.g.
UPC bar codes, prices, current inventory, items sold during day) for the
store - communications controller to the store chain's central computers and
checkout lanes (serial cable).
The 2 HDDs may have been in a RAID configuration
Could be useful - for a Linux savvy user - but there are number other
alternatives for Linux servers.
