I have a need for an easy to use yet powerful accounting system to administer some business accounts.</p> <p>I tried:</p> <ul> <li><code>gnucash</code></li> <li><code>openbooks</code></li> </ul> <h2><code>gnucash</code></h2> <p>Totally silent. Totally inaccessible under Linux, running on Debian 8.0 and using the latest stable version of <code>Orca</code>.</p> <p>Purged it right away. <strong>USELESS</strong>.</p> <h2>openbooks</h2> <p>Totally inaccessible and repeatedly crashed <code>Orca</code>.</p> <p>Purged immediately. <strong>USELESS</strong>.</p> <p>Back to the drawing board.</p> <p>I am <strong>NOT</strong> going to put my accounts in <em>the cloud</em> where nosey people can look at them. And I am not going to pay for accounting software for Windows which may or may not do what I want to do and be 100% accessible.</p> <p>Linux <strong>STILL</strong> lacks a fast, <code>RAD</code> database solution to match something like <strong>MS Access</strong>.</p></div>gnucashinaccessibleopenbookshttp://eyesfreelinux.ninja/posts/two-totally-inaccessible-business-accounts-packages.htmlThu, 28 May 2015 19:43:08 GMT
