“One of the primary things that people do with their
computers is keeping track of their personal finances.
And
primarily, balancing their checkbooks. Most former Windows
users probably used Quicken and say to themselves “Where is quicken
for Linux”. Well, there are a few choices in the Linux world and
one of them is called Moneydance.”

“You can get Moneydance from
http://seanreilly.com/java/moneydance/ or from download.cnet.com.
And it is available for download, but does cost $20 to register. In
order to run Moneydance you will need to have Java installed on
your computer.”

“If you have Quicken, you can export your old data files and
import them into Moneydance. One thing to watch for is that with
Moneydance you have to remember to save your changes, unlike
Quicken, which AutoSaved them for you. It’s a new world but
Moneydance can help you to get one step closer to a Microsoft free
desktop.
