[GNC] Puppy linux problem with notes/memo field on import and invoices due reminder l.

[David Carlson]

According to Distrowatch, Fossapup was first released in September 2020.
There is no indication of which version of Gnucash will run on that OS but
it probably cannot run recent versions since it holds the entire OS in
RAM.  There would not be much room for data unless there is enough RAM (and
other resources) to switch to a different flavor of Linux.  I can run
GnuCash 4.8 in LinuxLite 6.0 with all current updates, but it is a lot
slower than 5.8 would be in [shudder] Windows.

That said, can someone answer the OP's question about the invoice due
reminder?
