Hi, I've been using it for a few weeks now, and for the simple things I do (keep my checkbook balanced, manage cash, etc.), it has worked out great. I'm not sure how good of an alternative it would be to Quicken, since I've never used it, but for simple finances management, it's really nice. Joshua K. joshua@...

Subject: [C_LUG] KMyMoney - Personal Finance Software for KDE I'm curious how many here have looked at GNUcash and come away confused like me? I set a friend up with Mandrake (whose Windows drive was destroying itself), and they wanted Quicken quite badly. They also looked at GNUcash are didn't feel they could use it. With KMyMoney, I wonder if the problem will be solved? If anyone gets a chance to use it and post a review here, that'd be great! http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/release-0.6.html * Double-entry (Integer-based) accounting system * Support checking accounts, savings accounts, credit cards, loans, mortgages, cash, asset, and liability accounts * Default category lists for several countries, and user-defined categories available * XML file format for saving data * QIF file import/export for external data, including user-definable QIF schema * Allows arbitrary hierarchy of expense and income categories * Translations available for French, German and Russian * Ability to create scheduled transactions * Transaction entry in a user-friendly checkbook type form or an editable register * Compact ledger layout, but also contains a 'ledger-lens' to show all details of the 'current' selected transaction * display of transactions per payer/payee * Support of split transactions for multiple categories and accounts * Powerful transaction search function * User-friendly wizards to guide users through more complicated tasks, such as setting up a loan * Adjustable 'home-page' to show important information to the user after start-up -- Associate.com - THE Place to Associate! http://associate.com Is Your E-mail Group Here?
