    Some links relating to accounting software for small businesses under
linux that I have found are:

        Don't know of any of the top of my head.

        It almost works under wine :)

        Inventory would be a hard one.

        I think GnuCash holds lots of promise on this role.  Looking at what
MYOB does
        it shouldn't be too difficult to simulate almost all of that
functionality.
        If they are always reminded about internationalisation then things
could be
        improved.

        Anyway, sorry I can't help, but have a close look at GnuCash and egg
the
        developers on.

        Regards,

        Matt
