To me, gnucash is a very capable application and the 1.6 version is quite polished for what I use it for. It is one of my must have apps (along with galeon and gimp). In addition to doing all my household/personal finances with it, I use gnucash for accounts/receivable, invoicing and reports for consulting I do on the side and have been very pleased with gnucash's capabilities. It has much improved reports over the 1.4 series. It also has support for stocks, etc-- but admittedly I don't use that feature much. Also, I have a client who uses gnucash for his small business-- and he is very happy with it. I am not a quicken user, but people I've talked to who have used quicken (at least older versions ca. 1998) and gnucash say that gnucash is better from an accounting perspective. But take that for what it is worth-- it is second hand and anecdotal. > > GnuCash is DFSG-free, if that sort of thing appeals to you. This is indeed a compelling argument to at least try it. You can get it through ximian if you use potato or get it straight from woody/sid if you use those. I don't know moneydance's requirements now-- but when I tried it before (around a year ago), it was too slow on my machine (though I only have a PII 233).
