Shopwise. ~ Correct me if I'm wrong, Jijo. :)
I did not do the actual POS application. My work with Shopwise for the deployment of their POS system using Debian GNU/Linux involved work with a highly-available server cluster and a fully automatic installation system. This has been deployed and is in production in Shopwise Araneta Center, Cubao.
The actual POS application, called SimplePOS, was developed by Carlos Yu using Qt and C++. It works on both GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows systems, and is available locally through his company, CYWare[1].

Siemens also has a POS product called Calypso (written in C++), used by Carrefour (#2 in the world), that runs on Linux.
I think National Bookstore is also in the process of developing an in-house Linux based POS.
IBM's new version of GSA, General Store Applications (written in JAVA), also runs on Linux.
The biggest Linux POS implementation to date is U.S. retailer Home Depot (over 20,000 units deployed worldwide). I'm not sure which POS product they used...search yahoo or google for more information on their rollout.
