I know some software will install, but important software like
TurBoTax
won't. This is a real problem for Linux to take over the desktop, because to date NO company has ported tax packages, and none can be loaded with Wine.
Tax prep. software MUST be available for Linux or Linux will be limited on
the desktop.

Whoa there son. Share with the list - if you can. Tax time for Linux users in the USA is one time we need help finding non-Miscrosoft solutions.
TurboTax is about the only tax program that anyone will use. Others just give you gas. Perhaps someone in big Linux (SuSE?) could give them a call and ask them to compile the program in Linux? It is bound to be written in C++, everything is nowadays. Maybe the problem is the graphics? Is there a graphics converter from Windows C++ to Linux KDE C++? --doug PS: I'm going to have to use a professional tax man this year, but I will be back to Turbo Tax next year, I hope. And perhaps on Linux. Suse 9.2?
Thanks, Stan
