However the ease of use of Sql-Ledger has spoilt me, so I'm lost in the TinyERP menues. However I wouldn't discount it yet based on what I've seen and haven't managed to crash it so far!

I've had a go with TinyERP from the Ubuntu distribution, but it's
failing to talk to the database. However, the latest version (now
officially OpenERP) needs Gusty or Hardy, so after an upgrade tonight
from Feisty I'll give the latest version a go.

Phreebooks looks pretty good now you've explained about adding things
such as Locations, but I suspect the set up time may well be an issue -
one for the future possibly... though the idea of customising everything
(using the mouse) has great appeal.
