has anyone ever heard about, or have experience, of bad results of downloading a .deb package from sourceforge or a project page? (except depencies not being met) In what way would downloading ifreebudget from getdeb be "random"?On Tue, 08 Jun 2010 12:18:56 +0100 Simon Robert wrote:On 08/06/10 11:42, tom wrote:On 08/06/10 09:33, Neil Winchurst wrote:I have used gnucash for a long time now. However it is soon time to move on from Kubuntu Hardy. I think that I will probably go to Mint Xfce. While thinking about this I had a look at Kmymoney. I was able to import the data from gnucash and I have been looking at it. Mint Xfce seems to have kmymoney easily available but not gnucash. Anyway, I am wondering what list members think about the two programs. Is it simply a matter of personal choice, or is one better for whatever reasons. Any opinions anyone...?? NeilI think GnuCash has now gone to a DB based setup. This may not seem like much but at least you have a chance of growing* with it and writing your own reports. By growing I mean moving from a single user to multiple users without having to throw away/convert all that data and starting again. I've not looked in detail but I might as its account time soon! Tom te tom te tomDon't know if this would would work, but as mint is debian/buntu based you could add the ubuntu repositories that have gnucash and try installing from that. Also there is another finance package, which I know nothing about, called ifreebudget. This has a .deb package available form its website, http://www.ifreebudget.com/. Might be worth a look? SimonNormal warning about installing random .deb files from websites... almost as bad as installing random setup.exe files on a Windows box! I'm using kmymoney (at the moment). Grant.
