Re: gnucash and taroon

Switch to Suse 9.1 Professional  :)  Now that Novell acquired Suse and
Ximian, you'll find their products are combined nicely.

RHEL 3 is not an ideal Windows replacement box since Red Hat doesn't
include any non-open-source utilities.  Suse, on the other hand,
includes Crossover office and many other utilities that make it a much
more ideal Windows replacement machine.
