I'm getting Ubuntu 14.04 up on a new machine. I tried installing ttf-mscorefonts-installer using the Ubuntu Software Center. A note says that I should be using fonts-liberation instead because, "It's better to use those instead unless you specifically need one of the other fonts from this pack

Re: [PLUG] Accounting Software -- anyone doing their books with Linux?

One piece of advice that I found out from an account friend of mine. After you go over the internal limit of invoices (between 15000-16000); the local quickbooks application will lock you out of your data until you upgrade to quickbooks pro. On Thu, May 1, 2014 at 2:32 PM, Tim Wescott wrote: >

Re: [PLUG] Accounting Software -- anyone doing their books with Linux?

I thought I made a pretty valiant effort to do my company books with gnucash. I also looked in to the ledgersmb family too. In the end, a couple of years ago, I decided that the bank integration of those packages was so relatively onerous that I gave up and went online. I'm not convinced either

Re: [PLUG] Accounting Software -- anyone doing their books with Linux?

If you're interested in a self-hosted cloud system like Quickbooks Online, I've been playing with OpenBravo ERP ( http://wiki.openbravo.com/wiki/Installation), it's very full featured and pro-grade OSS-ish software. They have a community version to play with and a supported version. It supports acc

Re: [PLUG] Accounting Software -- anyone doing their books with Linux?

I've used/implemented gnucash http://www.gnucash.org/ for small businesses and it works fairly well as long as the people using it have a good understanding of how accounting is supposed to work. It is overkill for personal finances. For personal use I think that you can't beat KMyMoney. It does

Re: [PLUG] Accounting Software -- anyone doing their books with Linux?

I don't know how much the company pays for it, but we have used Quickbooks online for several years, and yes I can work in it equally well in either my 12.04 or 14.04 Ubuntu. Our company certainly makes it pay for itself because any of us can write an invoice from any internet connection as well

Re: [PLUG] Accounting Software -- anyone doing their books with Linux?

Linus Torvalds addressed this at the PLUG meeting last month, and as I recall his response was that he used Quickbooks online (cloud), and it worked fine via a browser in Linux. I imagine other accounting programs could be accessed the same way. Randy Stapilus Ridenbaugh Press www.ridenbaugh.com W

To date, I've been doing my accounting in Peachtree, on Windows XP, in Virtual Box, under Linux. Windows XP is going out of maintenance, and I'm thinking this is a sterling opportunity to purge that windows-ism from my office. Does anyone use an accounting program under Linux, with or without Win
