Personal Financial Management Software for Linux

“This seems like a good time to reconsider the alternatives
available for Linux, so I spent some time looking at a few of the
possibilities. What follows here is a “first impression” summary of
the four programs I installed and tried. All that I have tried to
do so far is transfer the data from Quicken, and then do enough
basic set up to be able to get a feel for how the program will
work, what it will look like, and how it will handle come common
transactions.

“A quick word about obtaining and installing these programs.
Depending on what distribution of Linux you are using, you will
find some or all of these programs in the “Software Manager”,
“Package Manager”, or “Add/Remove Software”. If you don’t find the
particular program you are looking for, you can usually go to the
web page for that particular package (I have tried to include links
when I can, and when I remember), and get it from there. I did all
of this testing on Linux Mint, because all four of these packages
are in the Mint Software Manager. The average time to download,
install and start one of them was about two minutes. It doesn’t get
any easier than that.”
