i've tried these alternatives ... nothing is really free .

your time and effort to get things to work is worth something

kmymoney doesn't print checks

i have been using moneydance for approx 1/2 year .

you can demo moneydance for 100 transactions

If you are just doing checkbooks and don't need all the other Quicken bells and whistles Gnucash is very good. You have to get used to the whole double entry stuff, but that is a simple adjustment. KMymoney is on the Mandriva rpms, the most recent on 2006. The one on 2005 is old and not so good. But the question you have to answer is what you are going to be doing. I still have one system that runs Windows because of Quicken and chess databases, none of the Linux financial packages has been able to meet my needs, but I'm a retired old fart with nearly 15 years of Quicken transactions and assets that neither Gnucash nor KMymoney have been able to handle. I should probably try Gnucash again (haven't for over a year) and see if it will import everything properly and do what I need. Try them all and see how they work.
