Mine for one.. A small Mass production engineering firm, that needs the usual set of books from an accounting perspective (about 50 customers and 50 vendors)
but I work with various materials from Brass to Stainless Steel to Plastics to Lead, machining it into various components (about 50 different basic raw materials manufacturing about a 1000 + different products, so keeping track of stocks of Raw materials and finished products as well as pricing from component to assembly level as well as tracking components through the manufacturing stage etc. I could not find a reasonable Microsoft product "everyone" in this country (South Africa) uses a program called Pastel, but it cant do what Sql does for me, costs a fortune in annual liscence fees and the next level that would do everything is something very cumbersome like SAP which is totally out of the question for the kind of turnovers I do... and want to do! Sql has persuaded me to switch my whole company off Microsoft and everyone in my office uses Ubuntu with Sql set up on a Fedora box as a virtual machine on an ubuntu server.... Works very well for me Tim Wade Penguin Products On Fri, May 28, 2010 at 7:56 PM, Rich Shepard <[email protected]>wrote: > I've never used a Microsoft-based accounting package, only some that run > on linux.
