Intuit said Wednesday it will allow QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions to operate on Linux servers. For Intuit, the move is a bit of a milestone–QuickBooks is the first of its products work on open source software.

This is big. Quickbooks has been one of those packages that I've always seen at the top of the 'I want it ported' applications. While this is the server component, it's still a move in the right direction for Intuit.

Now, we just need the client to match.............

Now, we just need the client to match.............

And then Quicken! And not the semi-compatible, years behind the times port to Mac OS X, but just as good as and file compatible with the Windows Quicken.

Still - good news. For us Linux fan boys, it means that server side Linux is becoming too big for Intuit to ignore.

Yep, that was what I was thinking.

Keep moving the ball down the field............. Keep moving it. Eventually, we’ll touch down.
