Accounting Systems on Linux?
cuebei asks: "OK, Slashdotters -
let's talk accounting systems for small-mid sized businesses. With
the popularity of Linux servers running various e-business services
such as web, directory, mail, commerce, etc, it only makes sense for
Linux to become a more mainstream platform in the business
world. One of the areas where I can foresee Linux being used
extensively is in the area of accounting. Linux is both reliable and
scalable, two key requirements for any accounting package. So who uses
Linux for HR/Accounting? What options are out there? Open-source or
commercial? If you were starting your own business and standardized
on Linux as a platform, what accounting package would you use and why?"
Yah, that sounds like a good idea. We could use ROT/13 for the encrypting the data too!
Yes, my girlfriend is a BitchX
Just some feedback on the commercial front. I run a linux based server farm with win clients at work. Our accounting department, prior to me working there, chose mas90 which runs off an nt server in a multi-user environment. When I tried to serve mas90 off a linux samba server, mas90 choked. Apparently it will not run off Samba share without corrupting the data (this according to our MAS90 consultant). I ended up putting it on our head accountants win2k workstation and having all the other accounting people access her win2k share p2p. If anyone has worked around this problem, please let me know :D
you forgot an apostrophe.
