Yes, I have been using the latest version and it is very good.
Unfortunately because of a non-working JDK with glibc 2.1 I am going to
have to go back to xfinans instead. If you are using glibc 2.0 you will
be OK.

Anyway, the installer does not work. You need to get these two files:

http://seanreilly.com/java/moneydance/upgrade/2.0/moneydance.jar.gz
http://seanreilly.com/java/moneydance/upgrade/swing-1.1/swingall.jar.gz

unzip both files into a directory of choice. I used
/usr/local/lib/moneydance. You then start  Moneydance with:

java -classpath /usr/lib/jdk1.1/lib/classes.zip:\
/usr/local/lib/moneydance/swingall.jar:\
/usr/local/lib/moneydance/moneydance.jar Moneydance

Put all the above on one line and remove the '\' symbols.

Sean has had a lot of problem reports about the Moneydance installer -
it is patently not working on many boxes regardless of distribution.

Hope this helps.
