linux accounting software or cheap winxp
I've been using accounting software on my old winNT computer, which is just about dead. I was able to close out the year by moving the software to my Linux laptop and using crossover office. However, there are too many glitches to stick with this for the long term. I could not find any adequate business accounting packages for Linux. Intuit offers web based accounting BUT even their web based accounting requires winXP/Vista and IE. If any of you know of an alternative that will work with Linux let me know. Vista was discarded off my daughter's new laptop. I can run Vista using vmware, but the performance is poor. I'm thinking of getting a winXP netbook. I could move winXP into a vmware server and install a Linux distro on the netbook. Or even get a netbook with a disk drive and split it between winXP and Linux. Simply buying winXP is well over $100 and I don't get much for my money. At least a netbook gives me a useful piece of hardware. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=34-220-441 Any opinions? -- Lloyd Kvam Venix Corp DLSLUG/GNHLUG library http://dlslug.org/library.html http://www.librarything.com/catalog/dlslug http://www.librarything.com/rsshtml/recent/dlslug http://www.librarything.com/rss/recent/dlslug ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Re: linux accounting software or cheap winxp
From: Lloyd Kvam pyt...@venix.com Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2009 18:29:27 -0500 I could not find any adequate business accounting packages for Linux. IIRC, this has been discussed previously on this list. Have you tried searching the list archives? I haven't. And I don't remember if I've babbled about Gnucash, yet. So, at the risk of repeating myself... There's a GTK-based (gnome-based glade-based guile-based...) accounting package called Gnucash (www.gnucash.org). I used to use it for my personal accounting and accounting homework while I took accounting classes. It had most of the features that an accountant would look for... and then some. You could specify funds in different currencies, pull exchange rates in from Yahoo, etc. However, it was also missing some functionality that I needed. So, I ended up contributing some code to the project and was happy with it. That is, except for the crashes. For reasons only my CPU may ever know, Gnucash decided to crash every ten or so transactions I entered into it. My workaround was to save early and often, but it eventually got to be so annoying that I stopped using Gnucash all together. Current versions may be more stable. The one I was using wasn't. The version of Gnucash I used had rudimentary support for business functions like vendor/customer accounts, invoicing, etc. But it couldn't automate payroll or payroll taxes. Those still had to be done manually. Again, the version which I was using must now be at least three years old. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

There's a GTK-based (gnome-based glade-based guile-based...) accounting package called Gnucash (www.gnucash.org). My wife and I have been using Gnucash at home for the past 2 1/2 years. We're running the version that can be had with apt-get on Ubuntu. We're using this strictly for personal finance purposes. The reason we went with Gnucash is because of the $0 cost. Also, we can run it remotely using X11 on our Mac laptop when it's convenient. Overall, it seems to be somewhat rough around the edges, but it serves our purpose. We started with almost no knowledge of accounting, so we got a short tutorial on accounting from the Gnucash manual (assets, liabilities, income, expenses). I've had some brief exposure to QuickBooks and it seems like they use the same concepts. They have a bunch of reports defined that you can use (transaction report, balance sheet, etc). These do have some options that you can change in the GUI, but we've found that sometimes it's easier to just use a spreadsheet to get exactly what we want. Currently, we're using the manual process of one of us reading out numbers and the other one entering them into a spreadsheet. This would seem inefficient, but we use this as an opportunity to review each line item. If you want to do more advanced customizations of reports or invoices, then you might have to brush up on your Scheme skills and edit the source code of the report. For what it's worth, I think they are trying to target the needs of the business user and many of the new features seem to be geared towards businesses. Also, recently, they've ported it to Windows and are releasing Windows binaries with each release. That is, except for the crashes. For reasons only my CPU may ever know, Gnucash decided to crash every ten or so transactions I entered into it. My workaround was to save early and often, but it eventually got to be so annoying that I stopped using Gnucash all together. Current versions may be more stable. The one I was using wasn't. I think Gnucash has gotten better since you used it. We've gotten in the habit of saving after each transaction because it used to crash more often. I filed a bug report on Ubuntu about one persistant crash and it turned out to be an inconsistancy in one of the libraries that Gnucash was using. That problem was fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. We used to have crashes every other time we used it, but now I can't remember the last time it has crashed (Gnucash 2.2.4 on Ubuntu 8.04).
