hi, GNUKhata is an upcoming project(actually soon to be released anytime after 5th June).The project is a complete free software to the likes of tally,accpack etc.The project was being developed on an voluntary basis and after the code base was developed NIXI (National Internet exchange of India ) funded it for dedicated development. The result of this funding has been that GNUKhata is in its alpha stage and can be used excluding two important modules balance sheet and profit & loss account which will be developed in the coming couple of weeks.you can visit http://gnukhata.gnulinux.in for further details.
Note that modules such as ledger,trial balance and inventory system is completely functional

Tally is tailored to Indian accounting standards and taxation practices, while GNUCash is more generically suited for western markets.
If your needs are more for enterprise purposes, you could take a look at an open source ERP package and the chances of successfully mapping it for your use. AlternativelyN you can use thr Linux version of Tally if you don't mind the upfront expense and proprietory nature.

Hi Folks,
Am building a list of Applications to be presented as OSAlt (Open Source Alternatives) to frequently used commercial applications.
Some of my accountant friends asked me one single question, and am
finding
answer for it:
"Do you have anything for Tally that will work on Linux?"
Since I am not from financial background and never used Tally, I didnt
find
a proper answer. Through Search Engine I did come across GnuCash, but
dont
know how it compares to Tally.
Has anyone used it, so that I can lay out points on transitioning from
Tally
to GnuCash or any other OpenSource/Free Alternative to Tally.
