Hullo there,
I'm looking for an accounting system that will run with the backend and the front on linux. Something like Sage, which takes care of accounting and payroll, also customers, jobs and invoices. Sage requires windows running on the workstation, however.
I've looked at gnucash but it's scary and unfriendly, with the customer and invoicing side not being what is needed. I'm after a system that can have multiple front-end users and a database backend in postgresql or mysql. Hard cash may change paws, it doesn't have to be free.
I did start writing one with a web front end, - the customer and invoicing part is okay but the more I do accounts the more I realise this is a mad, stupid thing to be doing.
Thanks
Jenny
Have you tried to get Sage running on Wine/Crossover?
Assuming it is capable of working (and there's an appdb entry which suggests it might be) it'll probably need as much tweaking as the alternatives, although since the potential payoff is sage itself, it may be worth a go.
