hello jtd, Abhishek, kenneth and other friends on the list. I could have specially sent this email off list to those whose names I mentioned at the top. but I want more people to read this email for spreading awareness because what I am going to ask is a new subject for me as well. I need an accounting software that falls under the FOSS model. it should compeet with Talli so that even common business men will use it. </end of original> With easy-to-use desktop guis available now in the form of ubuntu and probably some others, (more printer drivers, usb hot plugging, oo 2.0, gaim... and so on), the only thing preventing the 100s of thousands of non technical, small business users is an accounting package that will work on *nix and is of the same level of ease of installation and use and support as Tally. Pretty much all of them are using pirated windows and pirated office and pirated anti virus and downtime is very high due to malware, adware, viruses. But they have no choice because of lack of accounting applications. The day we can give them such an app with assured support, will be big enough to be declared a public holiday. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
