A first look at Vector Linux 4.0, SOHO
edition
04/09/2004 04:04 PM

Vector Linux has always interested me because of its purpose and origin: a simplified distribution from a Slackware base. Last month Vector's developers announced the first release candidate for Vector Linux 4.0 SOHO edition. Since, to quote Vector's main page, Slackware Linux has always been "about as user-friendly as a coiled rattlesnake," I was curious to see how Vector Linux addressed these issues for home users while still keeping the Slackware reliability and speed. I'm sorry to report that their efforts have not been especially successful.

ISO my perfect SOHO accounting for Linux


ISO my perfect SOHO accounting for Linux 11/12/2003 01:13 PM
I've been doing a background search for a Linux accounting package for small business the past week or so. The trigger for the search was the recent news of AppGen's apparent demise. It hasn't been so much a problem of finding accounting apps for Linux as it has been finding one I've wanted to use. But I've found one now. It's very nice, it's called QHacc. The only drawback I've found is that it's for home use, not business. My search for a SOHO accounting package will have to continue. This is not a review of QHacc. It's an update on my search-to-date for my perfect SOHO accounting solution for Linux, coupled with an introduction to QHacc.
