(gnucash is on your CDs, moneydance and kapital are proprietary) For my purposes Moneydance was the best, but to be honest none of them were good enough. I am now running Quicken under Win4Lin. The nice people at Codeweavers assure me that before too much longer Quicken should be running under Codeweavers Office. derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Or (lateral thinking) manage your money on a PalmOS machine, if you have one, rather than a desktop. I find this easier and less prone to mistakes as the PalmOS machine is right there and doesn't have to be booted :) There are many excellent money managers for PalmOS; I use PocketMoney http://www.catamount.com/PocketMoneyPalm.html but MyCheckbook is freeware, and nice: http://www.thequickster.com/products/index.htm#mycheckbook PocketQuicken is popular but IMO too expensive: http://www.landware.com/pocketquicken/index.asp Alastair - -- Alastair Scott (London, United Kingdom) http://www.unmetered.org.uk/ -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9Su2VXzGCRjP1DsMRAiexAJ9a52u/S/9mrOR3SeWv+0jvhiF9LACfbA6G ZVdLifP0Q/P49iBjdqfm8mg= =9vDb -END PGP SIGNATURE- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
