Hi,
No, I didn't know about that one, I'll check it out. The one issue I found when I was looking (back in 2004-2005) was lack of support for multiple: 1) languages, 2) currencies and 3) VAT rates. You want to check out Kraft [1], mainly done by an openSUSE fellow ;-) Depending on your idea what 'accounting' is it might help you. All the problems mentioned above are solved in Kraft.

[1] http://volle-kraft-voraus.de Thanks, that looks interesting too. Like I said, I have not been looking for a few years, but it is about time we "upgraded", so links like this are really helpful.
Wrt "accounting", the things I need are:
- double-entry book-keeping, pretty standard - keep records of ins and outs - MwST/VAT record-keeping (and reporting) - reconciliation with bank records, credit card, paypal - accounts in multiple currencies
Nothing very unusual.
"Nothing very unusual", eh :-) .
To someone who knows about accounting and management accounting this is "not unusual" :-) . To to others it means absolutely nothing :'( .
Very true (applies to any dedicated application/field package).
An organisation (with a turnover of over $1m p.a.) of which I was the Assistant Treasurer and then Treasurer had, as the absolute minimum for accounting controls, a system which reconciled the bank records. No ifs or buts; it had to do be able to reconcile bank transactions as well as credit card and EFTPOS [Electronic Fund Transfer at Point Of Sale] (probably termed Paypal in your environment) transactions.
Basically paypal is just another bank.
The only such accounting package (in our part of the world) was Minding Your Own Business (MYOB) [http://myob.com.au/ ].
Unfortunately, it is only available either for Windows or MAC. But if you are running a virtual installation of either under Linux............
Yeah, once you go that way, there are plenty of options - Windows+ somepackage is where we are today. Seven years ago that was a quick(-and-dirty) solution to an urgent need, but now I'm slowly (somewhat inspired by this thread) beginning to look at the Linux solutions out there. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (27.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
