POS software:

even some for linux:

If you just need a cash register, look at easyPOS (for linux).

In any case, take a look at the http://www.linux-pos.org/ (even if you don't go linux) website, it may have some useful information.

edit: You can buy a whole linux-based touchscreen POS system here:
