Anyone have any personal experience with a pure Linux replacement for QuickBooks? My needs are from a sole proprietor standpoint, not that a full up corporate accounting capable solution isn’t acceptable.
I’ve search-fu’ed several options, but I’d rather hear what people who’ve actually used them have to say about them.
Thanks, Michael
It depends on what you do with it. If you have multiple bank accounts and manage projects and/or clients and have time and expenses to be tracked for each client, with tax categorization, etc... -- then unfortunately No -- there isn't a replacement for Quickbooks on Linux.
I got damn close with eGroupWare and projects -- they did a lot of good work there, but in the end, while you had project and time tracking, there was no interface to further use that information in an accounting sense.
I hope somebody develops a project that would work for a wide variety of businesses, but until then, other than using a full-blown accounting system, the Linux offering a more checkbook oriented solutions like Quicken than they are business oriented like QuickBooks... Sigh...
