[GNC] First time with Quickbooks difficulty

[Alan Hopkins]

   Hello Stephen
   Welcome to GNUCash.
   I am a Linux user and a GNUCash user for one organisation but not so
   for another - mainly because of the use of Quickbooks by that
   organisation for many years.  For that organisation, I run Quickbooks
   in a Virtual Machine (I use Oracle Virtualbox) which runs Windows. I do
   not allow that VM to connect to the internet, so there is no updating
   of WIndows or Quickbooks.  This system works well but I have been
   actively encouraging the organisation (which is a small not-for-profit)
   to switch to GNUCash with a new financial year - and it appears they
   will do so.
   Perhaps this might be a way for you to ease your migration to both
   Linux and GNUCash?
   Cheers

Hello,
This is my first email and I'm not sure whether to send this, I've only started
using Linux last month.

Being a small business, I've always used Quickbooks accounts software. But with
the change to Linux, Gnu Cash does not allow QBB files being imported. One optio
n was to install Quickbooks using Wine but no luck, I even asked a guy who is an
 expert on computers but he's unable to resolve this.

I am stuck as to how can this be done with 20 years of records in Quickbooks and
 whether Gnu Cash can be used or not. For now, I am still using Quickbooks on on
e laptop with Windows, and I need to complete the transition to the second lapto
p with Linux so that I can stop using Windows from October.

Hope someone can guide me.
