I've used SQL-Ledger in the past, though it has been years. My
experience was that as an accounting system, it was pretty solid. There
was some dispute around management of the project and a fork was started
(LedgerSMB). I'm not sure of the state of either project as I stopped
using it. (The owner left a bad taste with me when I submitted a
support question asking how to go about modifying one of the reports,
and he responded with a modified report and an invoice expecting to be
paid for the "work I asked him to do"...).
In the end, the complex reporting system was the nail in the coffin for
SQL-Ledger (for me). It uses LaTeX to generate the reports which are
output in PDF format. While tweaking LaTeX was "fun", asking the system
for any information not already provided required modifications to the
report AND the underlying system that only the author seemed to be able
to do. So creating custom or ad hoc reports via the system was cost
prohibitive.
But SQL-Ledger *was* under active development. It looks like it still
is (he's calling it an ERP system now and not just an accounting
system...) So, things may have changed drastically since I last looked
at it.
Food for thought

You may want take SQL-Ledger in consideration, published and supported
by an Edmonton company. Highly capable and configurable, it appears to
have special appeal for larger organizations with more intricate
bookkeeping requirements.

Is anyone using accounting software on Linux? I was looking at Quasar from
http://linuxcanada.com they are a Calgary company and I know a lot of
people that are using it but my new client needs payroll and job costing
and it looks like Quasar does not have that. Quasar can export to a payroll
program but they do not say what that program could be.
Recommendations please.
