Gnucash multiuser remote (was Re: gnucash web interface)

[marthter]

When did I ever say that my household users (or the small businesses I 
had in mind) had a "small number of Windows apps" ?  :-)

Seriously, though, thanks for giving another alternative.  I'd heard of 
Win4Lin, but never really checked it out, so maybe I will.  That may 
work for my household scenario, but would still be a very hard sell with 
the small businesses.  Getting one Linux box in there for GnuCash might 
be doable, but convincing them to switch everyone in the office to Linux 
(though I'd love to see it happen) is a hill I don't want to climb right 
now.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Cheers.
