 Too bad, checked the website and seems pretty much dead The last
 annouced release is from 2005

I emailed the developer, and he got back to me today.  I asked him if
they were still supporting and developing Quasar.  This is his answer:


Yes, we are. The change between 1.4.7 and 1.5 was huge and it took a
very long time to do the conversions so we have been slow to announce
that we have a version 1.5. We are actually going to release version 2.0
shortly with a full conversion from 1.4.7. all the way up to the current
version.

I pointed him at the openSUSE Build Server.

So.. not a dead project.

 Linux Canada has a pretty powerful open source package Called Quasar
 for business accounting and it also has a pretty slick POS component
 as well.  It's funded by purchased support contracts like most open
 source software companies do.

H and now that I look at it again... it's not exactly working all
that well.  Last time I installed it was with SUSE9.3... which
coincidently is also that last build the company has made. :-(  You
can install it in 10.2, but... it takes some tinkering or installing
from source.

H... that's a shame.  It is quite a nice application.

Maybe someone should add it to the build-service :-)

  In my passed life I owned a business where I used filepro+ or profile+
  It was highly customizable.  I am looking for a current Office Ledger
  (double entry) software package for Linux.  Does anyone know of one that
  interfaces with sql light, mysql or postgres?  It will used for US tax
  records

 I poked through the FAQ, and they state they have a US version.

 I haven't used it in a real business setup, but when I last tried it
 out, I have to say I was quite impressed with it.

 Be sure to let Linux Canada know if you like it.  The more feedback
 these companies get, the more likely they are to continue making
 serious Linux applications.
