For anyone using QuickBooks Pro 2006 with Linux, there is a great write up on how to make it work with Samba. However, don’t expect a lot of security. I tried this and noticed one thing that the article did not mention however. If you are using it, and it is slow… try this. Make an entry in your hosts file that points to the server. I had one station that would take 5 minutes to open QuickBooks. I put the server in the hosts file, and it loaded up in a minute. Still slow, but that is 2006 for you. QuickBooks is getting worse every year. I can’t wait for Quasar to start getting a little more popular.
