A client of mine does the payroll for his small business and has thus far used various versions of Intuit's Quickbooks. While he can manage to muddle around with programs and do things, computers are still very much magic boxes to him and he had the malware to prove it. I'm doing everything remotely, so I would like to switch him to a simple Linux desktop but the problem is Quickbooks doesn't have a Linux client and the web version of their app is unusable. I've looked into Linux financial software (e.g. gnucash) but I can't seem to find anything that does payroll and accounts for U.S. state and federal payroll taxes. Does anyone use payroll software for Linux that they can recommend?

For the love of god don't hire an accountant onto your payroll.
Go to an accounting firm :)
Just let it all go. They do it better than you. They do it faster than you.

For the love of god don't marry a woman.
Go to a prostitute :)

Bonus if the prostitute is also a lawyer.

Well, they are both experts at screwing you.

But under any circumstances, don't bring the prostitute onto your payroll.

Or you could combine everything, like John McAfee [theregister.co.uk] did.
