Thank you everyone for all your feedback.
At the Drupal Code Camp here in Phoenix a couple years ago all I saw was
Macs. Developers seem to like Macs. Maybe it has to do with having a
Unix operating system that just works.
I'm not disparaging Linux. It just takes a lot of knowledge to run Linux
as your desktop O/S. I've done so for over 2 years and I really like
Linux Mint. I'm just at a point where I want to spend less time
maintaining my computer and focus more on development.
Again thank you for all the feedback!!

They're web services, Xero.com and FreshBooks.com, just hit the sites.
Sorry, probably should have been clearer about that.

I found quicken to be pretty lame for the minute I tried it with a
former accountant, and found it really didn't do anything I couldn't
get in Xero accounting suite, a web-based product. Far better
integration as well with other apps like expensify and freshbooks.
I ended up with both Xero and Freshbooks as both have ups and
downs, where freshbooks is awesome for invoicing, accounting,
creates customer portals automatically to view work history, bills
received/paid, etc, Xero is better at general ledger management and
methodology. Quicken seemed more like the old slug GM-like company
product that is too big to fail (doing everyone a favor), as using
even the enterprise version I wanted to stab myself in the eye.
There was nothing I missed from Quicken, and a whole lot more to
love with others.
I've operated as a consultant in dozens of orgs across the years
with linux, and I never found anything that couldn't be accomplished
in linux really, minus a good visio replacement. The only problem
is when they just use garbage like lync and quicken is that is a
vendor lock-in to micro$oft anyways.
Solution: Replace them. I did, it is possible.

At the end of the day, Linux still needs a lot of work to be
considered to be a viable desktop production environment.
can you get quicken for linux? what about Peachtree? How about a
full office suite that can do the same things that MS office can do?
what about some of the other mainstream office and production apps?
are there many equivalents or direct replacements? THis is the
primary problem I have seen with linux over the years. great OS
support, but lousy where it counts.
