Today’s Linux platform accommodates a number of really good financial applications that are more than capable of handling both personal and small-business accounting operations. That was not always the case, however. Not quite 10 years ago, I scoured Linux repositories in a quest for replacement applications for popular Microsoft Windows tools. Back then, the pickings were mighty slim. Often, the only recourse was to use Windows-based applications that ran under WINE. The best of the Linux lot were GnuCash, HomeBank, KMyMoney and Skrooge.
I still use Quicken 2000 under Wine. I want a ledger style entry with direct entry and a drop down list if I need it. All Linux personal finance software I have tried so far have some kind of pop up box to make the entry which I dislike, Quicken does not. I have not tried GNUcash for sometime, I will check into it. So far I have found Money Manager Ex the closest thing to what I want but still stick with Quicken.
The article is written in a manner as if you know what am I thinking like you are writing a book and you very well know your audience. The language that is a barrier has been made easier here; it is a great blog with amazing knowledge. A great read. I'l definitely be back.
