HI

I would like to know if there is any account software similar to Tally available for Linux ( Debian based ) . Red hat had tied up with Tally to come up with a software to support Indian customers ( http://www.redhat.in/news/article/41.html ) .But no deb packages. There are application like Gnu Cash , Nola Pro , Grisbi . But nothing close to Tally , because Tally is *specific to Indian Economy*.

The reason i am posting this query is cause i have a friend of mine who has a Engineering Business , Pro Linux, and want to convert all his desktops to the Linux OS from a windows. But the only thing stopping him is the the issue with Tally. and few other softwares . Any suggestion That I can pass on to him !!

Thanks

Why doesn't he try any open source ERP package? Implementation may cost a bit, but may have a long term benefit.

I didn't read that due to the tiny text. By the way, why .deb? Are they so far advanced in Linux implementation that they can't switch to a good rpm based distribution?
