--- Comment #22 from yonnie yonnie@gmx.com 2008-12-10 17:25:50 --- Refresher: Myob11 wouldn't work using Fedora 6, just real buggy, tended to crash, anything deeper than top-level window stuff wouldn't print. Windows with tabs would not usually allow selecting the tabs, etc... Fedora 8 came along, I upgraded as the F8 fanclub was making out F8 being the next best thing to invention of the wheel. I tried Myob11 on it and it worked! I was able to install all the old data from the windows system. We were able to input receivables, create invoices, print stuff, do the bank stuff, tax stuff, etc... The accountant was using it and happy. This honeymoon lasted about 1 month. Then... First-off it wouldn't print Invoices, just a blank page, I thought I had a bad printer. Then I realized there were other issues with the tabs on some windows didn't work. Some of the bank info wasn't accessible. The accountant now refuses to use Linux for anything but letters, email and solitaire. I told her tough, get used to Linux because this place isn't going back to M$, period. I've installed several other accounting programs made for Linux, but she still hasn't decided to take the effort to learn them, she's holding out for MYOB. I'm not set up for, nor do I understand how to do regression testing. Wouldn't know what to do if I found something, either. I really don't care how much trouble Linux is or how little how understand it...there is no way in hell we are going back to M$, even if we have to send all our accounting out to a service.
So, yeah, it sure would be nice if you geniuses could figure out why it wouldn't then why it did and then why it won't work anymore!!
If it makes a difference, we use a network printer, hp L7780. System that needs to use MYOB is running Mepis 7 and system used for testing various new software from repos is running Lenny.
