Getting something like CA Simply Accounting (or a compatible equivalent.. SA is a lot more than QuickBooks or other single user bank balancing software) working in Linux would be great... and working right, not hacked and tweaked by an expert. If it worked I know of at least one business that would migrate off Windows without a second thought.

I've been using Quasar Accounting from http://www.linuxcanada.com/ for about 9 years for my business.
What do you use for a tax package? This is, IMHO, the 1 thing that keeps small to large business from moving to Linux!
Thanks,

Since I'm from the US, I use TaxAct for yearly taxes. (So I use Windows once a year using Virtual Box) Interestingly, when I first got started, I talked to my tax man and he said that it would be great to setup your accounting package to reflect the US 1040 Schedule C form. So I did. Quasar lets you build your own COA, so I built it to completely resemble to US 1040 Schedule C form - even to include the forms line numbers. So just copy the numbers to the form and I'm done.
