There's a Japanese one that came out recently called Jalia.  Only 
works on Red Hat tho'.  Most people seem to think that Linux is about 
choice ?  The makers of Jalia say that they hope to make it available 
for other distributions.  Can't say how good or bad it is though.

What I'm referring to is that fact that the accountancy profession as 
a whole expect to use Sage or some other tax or financial package so 
that they can quickly transfer records between sites or companies.  
So, they expect to see the same "cartoon" or pretty picture on the 
screen in front of them.  Just like MS Windows that is.  

Thanks
