Linux Myth: Lack of Accounting Software … with Payroll
To date Intuit has failed to create desktop GNU/Linux versions of Quicken and QuickBooks. The “experts” tout this as a show stopper keeping people from switching from Microsoft systems to GNU/Linux. While this may stop some people there is no reason it should stop everyone.
If one is willing to break away from Intuit and look at other solutions I have found some that might be of interest. Accounting software on GNU/Linux that includes payroll is BasicBooks by LinuxLedgers Business Accounting Systems and Passport Business Solutions™ (PBS) by Passport Software Inc. While these are not Free Open Source Software (FOSS) they are accounting solutions that run on GNU/Linux and include payroll.

re: Linux Myth
Wake me when more then a handful of accountants or CPA's (out of millions) support it.
Until then, I'll stick with Quickbooks.
