Hi all, W.R.T. accounting software, I know about and have tried GnuCash + MoneyDance and found them both unsatisfactory. Being a current Quicken 98 user doesn't help either. I am looking to either get Quicken working on linux via Wine or an equal opensource option which can run on linux natively. Looking through the email I received from Icewalkers today I noticed that a new version of OPEN BUSINESS ACCOUNTING/INVENTORY had been released and was wondering if anyone has used the app and how it compares to Quicken?

Quicken 2002 and 2004 are both supported on Codeweavers' wine product CrossoverOffice (http://www.codeweavers.com/). I don't know about Quicken98, but give it a try. Or you could upgrade... If you don't like either moneydance or GnuCash, I think you're out of luck wanting another accounting package on linux. If you like Quicken, just stick with that using wine.

Not used it, I'm afraid - I use GnuCash to run my business and find that it does everything I need in an accounting package. Its reports could do with some improvement but the devs efforts seem to be aimed mostly at the gtk2 port ATM.

If you want general ledger accounting and financial statements, we have a Linux native software, ACyC Lite, that may do what you need. It's a double entry system, and can be used in English or Spanish. You can download a trial version from www.acyc.com. Best regards. -- Alfredo J.

It sounds like you want Code Weavers Cross Over Office, which will allow you to run Quicken on Linux under Wine.

Input appreciated Hylton
Out of curiosity I loaded Quicken 98 Deluxe with the latest Codeweavers Standard 30-day trial ($39.95 download) and it installed just fine and seems to run just fine... now if I can just remember that password I used over 4 years ago I'll be able to load up an old file and really test it. I setup a new account and imported current info = works fine so far. And fast. I'd encourage you to choose GnuCash or KMyMoney or MoneyDance or PLCash and run parallel with Quicken 98 while providing feedback to your Open Source program of choice to get it up to your standards.
