I have heard Wine is a pain but haven't used it. The Wine application DB
shows reports that the latest MSMoney is not functional on Wine. I just
downloaded VMWare 2.01 last night and it installs just fine on LM 7.1. I
haven't finished installing Win98 yet on it. I suspended the install part
way through. As soon as boot back over to Linux I'll resume it and see if
it finishes. Cool stuff! There is personal financial software for Linux.
Christopher Browne has a great page
http://www.hex.net/~cbbrowne/financelinux.html listing lots of financial
software though I haven't played with any yet. The two that look most
promising to me are GNUCash and Money Dance (under the Other Personal
Finance Software link).
