Ask Slashdot: How To Run a Small Business With Open Source Software?
First time accepted submitter ahree writes "I'm starting up a restaurant with my wife and a few friends and, well, I'd like to support the OS community and hope that this is a way to do it. Simply put, we need to take care of bookkeeping, accounting & payroll and I'd rather not use QuickBooks. I've heard of some options that are open source (GnuCash), some that are cheaper & simpler (WaveAccounting), but I'm wondering what your experience with them (and others) has been like."
You didn't build that.
No matter what you do, you owe your success to the government because you drove or traveled on a road once. If you make any money, the government has first claim to all of it.
