I had a quick look and IMHO it's not suitable for Australian conditions, 
reason - GST.

You could probably customise the entire system to do GST on invoices and 
build a report that will go your GST calcs for you. I find it easier to 
reboot to Windows, do my MYOB and reboot to linux as quickly as I can.

BTW The other guys that work in the same office can tell when I am 
running Windows, they hear alot of swearing :)
