I'm what some might call an open source zealot. I loudly proclaim the wonders of open source and Linux wherever I go and I actively seek to convert Windows users over to the light. I've used most of the financial packages available on Linux and I can tell you that they do *not* meet or exceed the capabilities of either Quicken or Money.
GnuCash is about the closest thing to meeting MS Money and Quicken head on and it even feels like a bit of a hack job at times.
Linux does have weaknesses in the software field. Personal and Business Finance software is one of those weaknesses. As painful as that is to admit, once we do we can go about REALLY meeting and exceeding the competition.
Meet or exceed?
