Open source accounting sees new symbol
,----[ Quote ]
| Lack of a business-grade accounting system tailored for Australia's
| onerous taxation system has long kept even the most die-hard
| Linux fans tied to Windows, but all that is set to change with
| the open source SYMBOL Accounting.
|
| The brainchild of Perth accountant Edward Metcalfe, Surf Your Money
| Books Online, or SYMBOL, is a Web-based accounting and payroll
| system developed on the Linux, Apache, PostgreSQL, and Perl
| (LAPP) platform.

There are other such programs. All the large ones appear to be Web-based,
which is good news for mixed environments. Meanwhile, Microsoft starts a
verbal battle (Bill Hilf) against IBM's latest offering, which brings Linux
to the enterprise desktops.
