I went through SourceForge looking for a POS program for my mom and
aunt, opening a small business.  In no uncertain terms I will tell
you--they all suck.

However, I did find (and not on SF) what seems to be a very good
solution:

Supports most or all the things you mention above (as far as I can tell)
among many others.  I've just played with it a little bit because it's
still in beta but I think a final 2.0 release is planned soon.
