	Quickbooks Database Server Manager by Intuit, supposedly also runs on GNU\Linux. I've spent some 10-20 hours trying to get it to work and here's what I know. This program supports QB Enterprise clients only (I have read). After all the time and trouble, I've been given by Intuit, I ended up finding that QB on Linux (2014) only works with a single user. It does NOT work with multiple users, and generally does NOT work at all. Don't bother using QB with Linux, unless you want a bad time.

 ==Conclusion==
-As of 2020, this page is the most thorough delve into Quickbooks Database server on Linux support, and it's a dead end. I contacted support, and they did what they have done to everyone else. The techs don't have any idea how it works, and are clueless. It's too niche. Don't waste your time with this one. It's a dead end. Quickbooks on Linux does NOT work, in my experience. Do not bother trying to run the DB server.

 Hopefully this will save someone else from making this mistake.

-No. The server is queried with '''ps -efff''' which is not valid in Debian. Apparently older QB DB Server manager used to support Debian per their user guides, but the most recent ones do not.

-From what I can tell, he didn't test enough. It's easy to open a DB file in single user mode, but a functioning multi user mode is what we are after. Actually, if you want to run QB DB Server in single user mode, it's easy in GNU\Linux. Multi user is where things start getting ugly.
