    Linux & MYOB

    Has anyone got Linux (prob Ubuntu) and MYOB working together easily?

    MYOB version is Accounting Plus V17.

    Yes there are some reporting success with win4lin, VMware, Wine and others on older versions of MYOB. But I'm hoping I'll stumble across someone who's used exactly my version.

    Otherwise I'll have to clean out a spare HDD and start playing.

    Download the trial version of Crossover for Linux and give it a go. It's wine taken to another level.

    CodeWeavers - Your Home for Windows Compatibility on Mac and Linux

    Cost is US$39.95 if you find it works.

    Thanks, I think I'll slot that one in at plan C.

    I got UBUNTU running with dual boot on a spare HDD yesterday. But interestingly I need broadband to download the files necessary to get a dialup modem working.

    The luxury of spare computers with spare HDD's makes all this risk free at least.

    How does it conform to local accounting and tax law though?

    I have had problem with American systems in the last with defnitions of things like GST and PAYE scales here.

    Convince the accounting firms to switch and the battle will be won.

    Ditto on the local tax schemes.

    I was echoing your sentiments on the US tax laws not matching ours. I thought that was obvious.
    If there's enough interest a patch could be developed for each country (or state) to take care of differences in tax and depreciation legislation.
    But you'd need to get support from the accountancy firms to get decent uptake.
