Good day all, I would like to convert from Windows to Ubuntu/Linux. I am currently a student in accounting and busy with my articles. At office we are running Pastel, Quickbooks, Caseware and any other related accounting software. I have been researching Ubuntu and found out that I need to install Wine. But nobody knows the accounting software, thus they don't really know if Wine would be able to run these software. Would anybody be able to confirm if Wine - installed on an Ubuntu machine - could run these accounting software that was made to run on a Windows machine? I thank you in advance for any advice. Kind regards, acidb

[Wine] Re: Running Windows accounting software on Ubuntu/Linux
Search AppDB, it'll list all applications that have been tested, which version of wine and which version of the software, how successful, and if there are any tweaks to improve compatibility. For instance, here is quicken: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=107 2009 looks like it works, 2010 doesn't.
