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

We've used GnuCash for many years for accounting and are very happy with it. We do invoicing separately with PERL scripts which interface directly to our provisioning so I have not used the invoicing side of GnuCash.
My wife moved from Quicken to KMyMoney and is happy with that.

My wife moved from Quicken to MoneyDance on Win XP. She was happy with that. She is now moving to a more everyday use of linux and we hope to install MoneyDance for her on the new box.
However, my attempt to install MoneyDance on Ubuntu 14.04 with Trinity was a failure. No error messages, no flames, no smoke -- just a return at the prompt.
At the time I got little to no help from their forums. But, someone here on the Trinity-users list remarked they DID have it running.
We'll see Real Soon Now.
But, I'm interested in the opinions and suggestions of others here on this matter.

I am using kmymoney for personal accounting since 2006. I found it was much more appropriate and easy to use than gnucash - never regret it.

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...
