Yes, the OP replied to me off list. I was thinking that it was an end user
accounting app  and therefore wondering why the OS made a difference if it
was web-based. Now I see that the reference was to being compatible with the
server OS. I guess I'm still left scratching my head why a server app would
be included in what I consider to be largely a desktop distro.

Maybe I'm just out to lunch today.
