we use to do all our accounting with MYOB, but about 1 year ago we 
switched to doing everything on a spreadsheet. We even got a template 
from the ATO, and we now use a excel spreadsheet that they provided. And 
as many of you know the excel format is well supported by openoffice and 
staroffice (well certainly to the degree of complexity that would be 
required in tracking GST etc). Although we have yet to try it on a linux 
box (we currently do our accounts on OS X), but it does give you another 
choice. However we are a small company, and the spreadsheet has greatly 
simplied tracking  for use, but I'm not too sure how well it would scale,

cheers
