Argh. Please say what accounting package! I'm looking to get a new accounting system for my business and the only major commercial system that seems to run on Linux is ACCPAC. ACCPAC might be okay -- still evaluating -- but some choices (particularly one that also supported PostgreSQL) would be nice.

I would love to know as well. Although, i assume they're referring to desktop accounting packages (i.e. quickbooks).

I agree, Accpac's only two storage options are pretty lame. DB2 is bloated, slow, java blah. pervasive is a strange dinosaur which won't be around long with mysql/postresql being more extensible not to mention zippier.

Try SQL-Ledger: <http://www.sql-ledger.org>

uses postgresql, perl & apache - I've been using it for a few months & it seems to work ok. You may need to do a bit of LaTeX hacking for your forms though...

There is one that ran on Xenix which, I believe, has had a linux version for a few years.

Sorry, I don't remember the name, but it was serial (text) terminal-based.
