Having doggedly made the transition from Windoz, there are only a couple of things more that I need in apps, one of them is a basic accounting program that is a little more functional (ie flexibility with respect to online downloads from banking institutions) than either gnucash or kmoney.

I am afraid, for me, linux doesn't provide anything like the Quicken functionality and appearance, ease of use etc. I am a dedicated Quicken user for the last 10 years and whilst I would like to change to a linux alternative, after reviewing MyMoney, MoneyDance and Gnucash, I found it was better to keep either a dual boot machine or a separate Windows machine available just for Quicken. sure the Windows software might need reloading every 6-12 months but hell, its financial records and until a linux alternative can import directly from Quicken backup files and also look the same, I am afraid, for me, Quicken will remain. Now whilst you may get the impression that Quicken can't be run under linux, don't be fooled. I have heard of a few quicken stalwarts using it via the CrossOver Wine app as well. So it isn't impossible to run on linux, I have just not got around to doing it that way yet. -- The Little Helper ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Licenced ex-Windows user (apart from Quicken) Registered Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Using SuSE 9.0 with KDE 3.1 ========================================================================
