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

[Adrien Monteleone]

FossaPup is based on Ubuntu Focal Fossa 20.04 LTS. I don't think this 
ubuntu-based series was continued, at least not officially. The newer 
release is based on Debian Bookworm, but Fossapup did get an updated 
release iso in March 2023.

Even modern Pups run in RAM. That's part of how they work.

I don't think the OS is necessarily the issue. And as I haven't touched 
Puppy in several years, I don't know if someone is maintaining GnuCash 
builds, or if you have to build it yourself.

I'd agree with the recommendation to just build a modern version if that 
isn't too much trouble. This may cause issues with dependencies though 
and might necessitate upgrading FossaPup to BookwormPup, or else 
building lots of upgraded dependencies first.

I use the Invoices/Bills Due Reminder feature, but I don't use the Jobs 
feature, so can not comment on if that bug still exists in 5.8. Maybe 
someone else can chime in.

Regards,
Adrien
