Open Source Business Systems

A great option for Invoicing, accepting credit card payments (small fee per transaction) tracking expenses and also able to do payroll (small fee per transaction). Is WAVE all web based.
I don't think that's Open Source though.
-
It is not listed as open source however for a full accounting system it is as close as it gets. And if you reach out to the development team they will work with you to build in new options, in my experience.
-
ERPNext is a decent open source ERP system.

For those looking at ERPNext Open Source. Oddly it says you'll need VirtualBox to run the OVA. Which just isn't true.
Testing an import of this into Xen in about 30 minutes.

I'm an idiot.
Of course there's XenServer for open source virtualization. NAUBackup for Full Image backup systems and Xen Patcher for scripted updating of your XenServer Hosts.

So importing the OVA into XenServer is incredibly simple.
Just like importing a backup of any other system you've virtualized.
it's very simple to do.

For Email... I can't recommend Zimbra enough. Probably has one of the best email interfaces I've ever encountered.
Zimbra guy here, too. Years of experience on that. Great platform.

It's not. It's just hosted.

Is Zimbra worth even looking at any more with options like RackSpace having email for $1/$2 a user?

And KVM as well, but I generally prefer XenServer still.

And I'm up and running with Erpnext on XenServer as a VM in under 30 minutes of "work" (actually looking at the screen)

In those rare cases where on premises email is needed. Which can be political, lack of WAN, etc. But it would be extremely rare. Mostly only cases where email can be acceptably offline lots of the time.

Maybe a full thread on you reviewing that would be good? I've not used it, would love to see a run down on what it can do.
-
Linux Mint is an awesome desktop option but far from the only one.
PC-BSD is excellent too.
-
Unfortunately I'd really have to dig into the software for ERPNext which, today's a busy day.
But I should be able to provide some decent screenshots of the import parts.
-
For firewalls and routing I would normally choose VyOS. Very high performance enterprise router software.
-
Ignite Realtime OpenFire for instant messaging.
-
-
It even has a POS module?
-
Anyone tried ODOO? I looked at it in the past but the company went a different direction. Is lack of faith in FOSS solutions generally at the SMB level or do you see it in the enterprise as well?
