I use MS Money99, too, and it's one of those handful of apps that are
preventing me from going to Linux full-time.  (That and the fact that I
develop Windows software for a living...)  

Anyway, you might want to check out www.gnucash.org.  It's a GNU project to
build a personal financial/accounting package for X, and from the screen shots,
looks pretty good.

I'd tried building it under SUSE 6.1, but had no luck, I think because of some
of the older libs in SUSE.  In fact, the availability of RPM's and so on for
RedHat is what prompted me to go the Mandrake route. (YaST still rules,
though...  Sorry, Mandrake.)

In a week or so, I'll probably give GNUCash another try, this time on Mandrake,
and will let the list know how it went.  In the meantime, I installed Money99
on the wife's PC, and said, "Hey, honey...  Here's a stack of receipts..."
