Linux.com | Using GnuCash 2.0 to balance your checkbook
Submitted by John Locke on Sat, 11/11/2006 - 02:16
There seems to be a misconception out there that business applications don't exist for Linux. Wrong. There are some excellent ones. Recently, the Linux equivalent of QuickBooks just hit version 2.0, and it has become quite easy to use. Joe Barr has a nice article describing how to get started with GnuCash, with some helpful tips for downloading transactions from your bank with minimal fuss. From the article:
Using GnuCash to balance your checkbook is perfectly legitimate. It's easy and it's accurate. You don't need a commercial product to do the same thing. GnuCash 2.0, however, can take you well beyond a simple checkbook: you can track your credit cards, savings accounts, and investment accounts, or you can keep a full set of books for a small business.
