I use Moneydance for bank (checking, saving) accounts and gnucash for
mutual fund portfolios. Both work quite well. Not as much glitter as
Quicken but they both use true double-entry accounting and can both
import Quicken files. Check printing is possible (although quite a pain)
in Moneydance.

Moneydance is not free. The demo version is but if you want to save more
than (I think) 100 transactions you need to purchase a license (~$40).
Moneydance has a more complete interface and can do a few extra things.
It's written in java so it can be a bit slow unless you have a fast
processor.

If you just want to get the job done, gnucash is fine.

BTW, both leave a lot be desired in terms of producing useful reports
(on investment performance, for example).
