[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Self Check

[Joe Knueven]

Also, because Evergreen’s implementation is so lightweight, you require only the most rudimentary of hardware to get started.

For instance, our current selfcheck machine is an old thin client device with a usb stick plugged in for a hard drive, running Debian, LXDE and iceweasel for the interface.  It works really well for the purpose, and the cost of the “computer” comes in around $50 each via ebay.

If you don’t mind using more electricity and having a larger system, any desktop build in last 15 years ought to work just as well.

The only thing I plan to change soon with that setup is to get openkiosk installed in place of/on top of iceweasel and to switch out the keyboard, mouse and surplus monitor we are using for a large touch screen monitor.

Long story short, not only is it there, but it’s awesome.  ☺

Have a good day.

Joe
