Err...I was skimming through Accpac's site...and just...wow!
It's a bit much for small business accounting (ala Quickbooks), but it
looks like an awesome program nonetheless. The front-end you speak of
is not listed on the site, and it lists WINE as a system requirement.
If I can't find a viable alternative to QB for small business
accounting, I will be sure to give this a second thought, but I'd like
to try to turn my dad onto GNUCash or something similar first.
Thanks :)
