Yes, LedgerSMB 1.1.12 IS our actual and only accounting system for about three months - SQLLedger for three years before. We sell service, hosting by the month, development by the hour (also using the Timecard-->Sales Order-->Invoice mechanism), and physical product.
I run it on a Xen instance using a minimal FC6 using the Fedora Apache, Perl and Postgresql RPMs and the LedgerSMB tar file dumped over the SQLLedger install - no mess, no fuss. I did turn SELinux off (I think there is something about it on the SL web site), and the only real trouble I had with it was getting the initial DBI/DBD communication working and getting Apache to actually execute the scripts instead of printing them. Those were also in the FAQ on the SL site, so I guess I should read the manual occasionally. Paul Patrick J.
