We used a controller system that came from across the border in White
Rock, BC. As a thought problem I contemplated what it would take to
replicate it in Open Source software. Came to the same conclusion. I
could see Postgres on a computer somewhere tying together multiple
controllers/sites. For the controllers themselves Sqlite or something
even more light weight would be in order. Hardware constraints are less
of an issue than before. It is more an issue of setup/integration and
the realization that Postgres would really be overkill for the task at hand.
