Re: LedgerSMB 1.4.2 and 1.3.44 released

[Philip Rhoades <..hidden..>]

Chris,

The 1.4.2 RPM installs OK and the setup was fairly painless - I did end 
up with a user in the DB that had a leading space which caused me some 
frustration but eventually everything worked out fine - thanks!

However, after following LSMB for some years my needs have changed 
somewhat and maybe LSMB is overkill for me now - the main organisation I 
need to use it for is a non-profit with four different bank accounts and 
very few transactions.  I mainly need to set something up so I can 
easily keep track of the four different bank accounts for tax purposes.  
Since I am already at least a little familiar with the environment from 
SQLL days and then LSMB, do you think I should persist for the modest 
accounting needs of this organisation?

Regards,

Phil.
