One bit of FOSS that I've been using is dot.Project.

It's primarily oriented toward a Development environment, but it could have some useful applications.

All you need is the standard LAMP setup.

Hello everybody,

I have a line on a possible Linux convert.

This guy owns a small auto repair shop (somewhere in the Arvada area) and wants to replace his existing computer system which is _very_ old.  He says it runs DOS, so I guess it's around 15-20 years old.

His needs are very simple.  He wants a customer database with some sort of nice front-end for entering data.  And of course he wants to print out work orders and stuff.

This will not be a POS system, however I suspect that he may want something like this in the future.   At the very least I suspect he may want to be able to print out a bill with everything itemized and tax included.  His wife does his accounting stuff at home on their windoze PC (with quickbooks, I think).  Exporting the data to a quickbooks friendly format would be nice.

My question is this:  does anyone know of a quick out-of-the-box FOSS solution for this guy?
