Re: [SLUG] Accounting and business software

Hi Patrick,

For general accounting  I use WXBanker. I've also used KMyMoney and 
Grisbi, which are both OK, but WXBanker is a bit simpler.

You will also probably need an invoicing package, and as far as I can 
tell there are no good simple user-friendly invoicing packages for Linux 
yet. (If anyone knows of one please tell me.)

I have trialled several packages including one with an SQL database and 
a PHP interface via a web page, but it was very cumbersome and 
non-portable. I now use an old shareware package from Windows called 
Instant Invoice. Unfortunately it is no longer available in that form, 
but you can buy their combined invoice and cashbook package from

http://www.instantinvoice.net/

A free 30-day trial is available.

I had some troubles with Instant Invoice in earlier versions but under 
Wine with Ubuntu 10.4/Mint 9 it's been bulletproof.

Regards,

Jon.
