Submission + - Ask Slashdot: How to run a (small) business with Open Source Software? 3

ahree writes: I'm starting up a restaurant with my wife and a few friends and, well, I'd like to support the OS community and hope that this is a way to do it. Simply put, we need to take care of bookkeeping, accounting & payroll and I'd rather not use QuickBooks. I've heard of some options that are open source (GnuCash), some that are cheaper & simpler (WaveAccounting), but I'm wondering what your experience with them (and others) has been like.

You've Dropped Your Landline — Now What? 635

smurphmeister writes "My wife and I recently moved up to the world of cell phones, after taking our sweet time to make sure this whole newfangled technology was going to stick around. We moved the old landline phone number to her phone, so we're disconnected from the pole. Now the question is, what to do with the copper already in our house? My first thought was an intercom system, but that just seems so old school! So what ideas do you all have for what to do with the 4 little wires running to every room of my house?"

as a middle/high school music teacher who uses all available technologies to teach music, this could really be a good thing.

why? simple. the goal, or _a_ goal of music education is to bring a meaningful experience of music to a student. this program might help with that.

and i'm just speaking of formal music education. for someone on their own, they can use the program to get a start and then learn more/deeper as they progress.

just because it might use 'standard' chord progressions doesnt meant a person cant have a meaningful experience of music - especially an inexperienced person. again, they can always learn more later.

for those of you who negatively (and, i daresay, often uselessly) criticized up above, remember that not everyone is in the same place, musically. if only one person becomes more musical because of this then it's served its purpose, no?
