Hey users, What about a small accounting program? Something to keep track of inventory and invoicing, money coming in, money going out? Something someone likes, uses or suggests to try? I'll do some searching on this end today, but I'd be happy to hear of something others use that is stable and not difficult for new users to setup.

I can't personally vouch for a specific package, but I can give you some related links from my personal archive: A list of Linux accounting packages: http://www.aaxnet.com/design/linuxacct.html Compiere (http://www.compiere.org) is a complete ERP + CRM business system with accounting subsystems. GNUCash (I think is included with SUSE) doesn't do inventory control but it does include invoicing, AP/AR, etc. Quasar (http://www.linuxcanada.com/) is available in GPL (no support) and 'retail' verions (with support.) hth & regards, Carl

Carl, Thanks for the detailed info site on accounting packages. It was useful to say the least. I hadn't been keeping up with GnuCash lately, so was surprised at the many new features it has added. Now, if I can get it to do some type of inventory management, it will fill the bill nicely. Thanks also to Donald for your input on GnuCash. What things do you manage with it, you didn't say. Still researching here, but thanks for the information guys. Lee

I ran a small business on GnuCash for 5 years and it works very nicely for that. But it doesn't (yet) do inventory management. It will handle invoices and payments, accounts receivable and payable, reporting etc. One tip, though, is not to use the built-in printing for reports; it produces poor results (using gtk-html). Instead, save the HTML and import into OpenOffice, and print from there. IME, this gives much better results (e.g. GC would split lines across pages, which looks very bad on an invoice). HTH!

I would suggest that you check out SQL-Ledger at www.sql-ledger.org, if you have not done so already. I have been using for about 18 months now to run my consulting business. Jim

I have the ISO around here some place.
I'm working on one, written in C++ and using SQLite 3. It is not ready yet. It will do General Ledger, Inventory, A/R, A/P, Check printing, Banks. It will probably take another 2 months for all of it to be finished. There will be a free version and a commercial version. You can see a picture of it at: http://www.acyc.com/images/acyclite-en.jpg http://www.acyc.com/images/acyclite-es.jpg It will be available in English and Spanish. If anybody would like to test what's ready (limited documentation), please drop me a note privately. Regards. -- Alfredo Cole-Tuckler

Why is it that I can't copy n paste text from some websites from Konq into anything else other than Kmail but text displayed in FireFox can be copied n pasted anywhere? It's quite irritating that you can never sure what's in your clipboard or having to remember what apps can transfer data between them! I'm running latest KDE with Suse 10, but I've always had this problem. Matthew

That's one of my pet peeves as well. I'm sure it's difficult to design a universal clipboard, given the large number of applications that must be dealt with but it's also one of the things that Windows buffs bring up to show how Windows is better.

Of course, they can only have one item in their clip board, when not in MS Office. Another thing you can do is copy the time & date from the clock into the clipboard etc.

This can be done in Linux as well. (Maybe that's what you meant, I'm not sure.) In Linux, the clipboard is a function of X so, theoretically, any GUI app can read/write on it. -- "This world ain't big enough for the both of us," said the big noema to the little noema.

My point is that the mulitple copy clipboard is availble throughout the desktop, at least in KDE, whereas in Windows, it only in Office. I find it very useful.

Try enabling "Synchronize contents of the clipboard and the selection"
in the "General" tab of your Klipper configuration dialog.
