You know how tolerant Toronto is 😉 Linux Caffe has its own website at [http://linuxcaffe.ca/](http://linuxcaffe.ca/). With one exception (the ATM), I think that everything electronic in the store is running something open source. -austin ---

BSD users are welcome too. 😉 Actually, Austin’s right on the money… even the point of sale is running open source. Customers get wireless that reaches out into the park outside… to promote tanning\* and reduce the number of pasty-white hackers. =) \*not many people tan in winter, I know. ---

As a former Torontonian (now living in Vancouver) let me just say - that is friggin’ cool. I’m assuming it’s in the Annex and not Bay Street, but regardless - awesome! Bryan ---
