I maintain a brief <A HREF="http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/messageview.php?catid=52&threadid=432281&start=0" title="fatwallet.com">FAQ</a fatwallet.com> on Free/Open Source finance apps. Grisbi is a nice single-entry system & it is cool that they have a Zaurus port, but I'm hooked on <A HREF="http://www.fatwallet.com/redirect/bounce.php?http://www.gnucash.org/" title="fatwallet.com">GnuCash</a fatwallet.com>. It works well on most *nix platforms. (I suggest <A HREF="http://www.fatwallet.com/redirect/bounce.php?http://jgnash.sourceforge.net/news.php" title="fatwallet.com">jGnash</a fatwallet.com> to win32 users, as it takes too much work getting it to work on that platform.) I like Gnucash so much that I <A HREF="http://arc.nucapt.northwestern.edu/F/OSS" title="northwestern.edu">sent them money</a northwestern.edu>. I believe that handling investments is still better in GnuCash. I have a cron that runs Mon-Thurs in the evening to download stock prices. The documentation is also second-to-none.
