Hoping to learn enough to be able to switch business and personal computing to Linux. Unfortunately I'm finding this extremely difficult. Have been looking for help/instruction and more than willing to hire consultant. I'm unable to find the help I need in BR or New Orleans.
Getting very discouraged.

Hi James!

Well, ask away. What services/software are you trying to move from Windows to Linux? Accounting? File sharing? 
 ? Maybe we can help in BRLUG.

I am also disgusted with Apple and would like to move away.
Also trying to escape Quickbooks.
1st concern:
Alternate Accounting Programs
1. NolaPro
This requires mySQL,PHP, and Apache2 Server running in background. I have tried to download and install these programs but am unsuccessful.
2. GnuCash
This program saves files as sqlite3 or HML. Again I would prefer sql but can't download and get installed? Have read several books but their suggestions don't match my Ubuntu screens?..
Thank you for your willingness to help
JAP2

[Robert Bigelow]

My name is Robert Bigelow and I'm an old-school info-geek and
command-liner with a fondness for organizing and structuring data. I
maintain an active presence in Gopher space at
gopher://sdf.org/1/users/rbigelo

My first experience in computing and inter-networking was with a Digital
Equipment VT-52 terminal connected to a PDP. My first job was to format
documents for a printer using SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language).

I recently exited the Apple-verse and entered the world of open sourcery
by installing Lubuntu 16.04 LTS on a five-year old Lenovo ThinkCentre M90z
all-in-one I purchased from a local computer recycling center.

Hi Robert,

Curious, why no more Apple? Esp. now that Macs are built on top of something UNIX-like.
