There's a CPA named Todd Boyle (www.GLDialtone.com) who has a web-site
dedicated to his ideas of the future of ecommerce. He has links to
products similar to quickbooks that run on Java, primarily on the
internet, which work with Linux. He calls this type of program a
"web-ledger". Some of the solutions may work as a replacement for
quicken or quickbooks... but there seems to be a big performance hit
using Java or Javascript compared to gtk or even plain html.
