Thank you both for your responses.

This is the kind of communication, that promotes Linux and developers of 
Linux applications. Especially being told what is available to run on 
Linux.

>From what I have been told, the Muli one appears to not include 
inventory, and the Zenucom one appears to not include a generic 
application (full-on accounting, with inventory, etc, that can be used 
by different kinds of entities, with generic usage), or a downloadable 
evaluation copy.

Are your businesses working on these?

Also, are they open source?

And, are these the only Australian accounting systems for Linux, so 
including Australian GST facilities?
