Do you use LedgerSMB

Hello,
I have been looking for an inexpensive accounting system for my tiny, one person, operation. I have been using DacEasy 8 for several years but I would like move to a program like LedgerSMB. I was going to try SQL-Ledger but there seems to be a lot of ?attitude? over there. I get enough of that everyday now.

The question I have is, does anyone use LedgerSMB now as their actual accounting system. I know it's supposed to much more then this, but I need a place to start. I tried TinyERP and I just don't seem to ?get it?. I had a look around at some other programs and the pay ones want $500 - $20,000 and that's a lot to me, or they are very simplified checkbook type programs or like OpenTaps, gezzz, I don't need something that over kill!

I'll have to try and install LedgerSMB again though. I tried it on my Fedora 6 box and it wouldn't work. I think that the SELinux thingy is mainly the problem. Has anyone use simplyMEPIS for a LedgerSMB install? It's supposed to be just like Debin, they even use Debin and Ubuntu repositories in the Synaptic package manager and they have dpkg and apt-get.

The folks over at Vector Linux should get involved here. They would have a much easier time pushing their SOHO distribution if it had a working accounting program. I would probably just use GNU Cash if it was accessible over a network like LedgerSMB.

Best of Luck to all. Special Thanks to the guys and gals at LedgerSMB.

  May the road rise to meet you,
  May the wind
  be always at your back.
  May the sun
  shine warm upon your face,
  The rains fall
  soft upon your fields
  And until we meet
  again may GOD hold you
  in the palm of HIS hand.
