Hi John,

While in Hawaii, I used StarOffice.  Not elegant, by any means, but
it's free (beer).  I simply set up my spreadsheet columns to match 
the categories on Schedule C (and the State Sales Tax form), and made 
chronological entries in the rows.  At the bottom of the sheet was a 
sum() function to add up the columns.  Since it was a sole 
proprietorship, I had far less paperwork than a corporation.  If you
want to pursue this, you should be able to find some Excel spreadsheets
on the Internet that will work for you.

George

Over the past two months, I have started my own consulting business which is now my bread and butter, but I am having trouble finding software to manage the administrative aspects of the business.  When I have asked around, the answer I get is quickbooks.  My goal is to find software like this that runs on linux.  Software that is GPL would be my first choice, but I would be interested in non GPL software as long as the price tag is not outragious.
