30 Days With Ubuntu Linux: Day 25

Along with email, writing, Web surfing, and social networking, keeping track of my finances is one of the tasks I rely on my PC for, and that I need to figure out how to accomplish during my 30 Days With Ubuntu Linux. My experiment trying to get Quicken to work in Wine failed to deliver, so today I am looking at options in Ubuntu Linux to replace Quicken.

I opened up the Ubuntu Software Center and entered ‘finance’ as a search term. There were a total of six apps that came up in the results, but the two with the most ratings-each with an average of 4.5 stars-were GnuCash Finance Management, and KmyMoney. I installed them both.
