Dear All,Thanks for the help re treasurer's package  - I have GnuCash installed & Ubuntu 10.10.11.04 seems to be out for 64 reasons!Re: OSs - I had hoped to use the new Mint 11 OS on the latest Linux Format mag but it too was for 64-bit only. There does seem a swing away from the older machines - a shame - for my poor old PB EasyNote laptop of 2005 vintage is racing along like a new thing under Ubuntu, not at all 'the snail' it was under Windows XP!Have a good day,Grandad Bee.

Well there's always (and probably always will be) Debian for a plethora of architectures, 32 and 64 bit.

My older Acer Aspire 5050 laptop is running Debian Lenny, as are our 2 original Acer Aspire One's. My 1.6GHz Desktop runs Debian Squeeze and is satisfactory for all I do. It even seems to be able to run bbc iplayer full screen too.... Bleeding edge, or nice stable and reliable... I know what I like!
