Hi, I am looking for an offline accounting package recommendation, please. I enjoyed using Xero accounting, but need something that's offline, and where the data remains my property. Having used Quickbooks on Windows in the past, I am looking for something similar. Any recommendations? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers Website: http://www.rudiahlers.co.za

I had to work with Sql Ledger and in its forum/mailing list often Quickbooks was cited. I enjoyed it because of being GPL, using perl and PostgreSQL as a background database. It seems a still developed piece of software. Here the home page: https://www.sql-ledger.com/ I don't know if it is too much for your needs. It offers also support in case of need. One useful page to compare accounting software functionalities offered could be this one too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_accounting_software HIH, Gianluca

Here the home page: > https://www.sql-ledger.com/There also was ledgersmb which is/was a fork of sql-ledger. Both got the job done at the time but ledger smb had some enhancements that at the time Dieter refused to add. Keep in mind, I have not looked at either one in about 4 years and have no idea what the current status is. My business needs changed so I moved on. Regards, -- Tom me at tdiehl.org
