Greetings to you all, Many thanks for your very informative weekly newsletters. I know how demanding the preparation of a weekly newsletter can be.
I have just one concern with Ubuntu ( which I love...both the software and the philosophy) which is, if Ubuntu is to be used by micro/small/medium sized business, which I would suggest represents a huge number of people worldwide, why is there no bookkeeping/accounting software listed in the download repository. This is the absolutely essential tool of any business, and without it all of these thousands of businesses cannot change to Ubuntu as there is nothing in the Ubuntu repository they can use. Grisbi is on the list, but is only for personal finance. Open source accounting software, Debian based, is available. ( Quasar, being one example ) I see people trying to install this on Ubuntu and the problems they are experiencing from the Ubuntu/Quasar blog. I am at a complete loss to understand why this very large and important segment of the market that Ubuntu could easily exploit to promote the OS is being totally ignored. People like myself are forced to use Suse or Linspire to get this type of software as a simple download/install. Please have someone in your organisation explore this area of software which would lead to a huge increase in the number of Ubuntu devotees.
