Gnucash is the closest one, but not quite there. You can run
quicken under Crosseover from Codeweavers, that is what I do.
It currently support Quicken 2006 without any problems, 2007
has some font issues, and is under work.
Crossover can be installed using automatix2 or directly from
codeweavers.

If you use 2003. wine is perfect.
You can try gnucash.

I use Quicken 2002 with wine and
gnucash and they both work great.

Thanks.

Question - when apps are installed by Automatix or Add Programs, where do
they go? No icon appears on my desktop, as it does in OS/2.

They are installed on your hard drive. But I bet you figured that. ;-)

BTW, Automatix is dead now, and recommendations say it should not have
ever been used. Use apt-get, or its GUI frontends, Synaptic under GNOME,
or Adept under KDE.

Usually programs are put into the /usr/bin directory.

Rarely does a program put an icon on the desktop. That is a Windows
bloat feature.

Some installed programs will place an icon in a menu. If one isn't
located, in Ubuntu (GNOME) you can always install one by using the
Alacarte Menu Editor (right-click the Applications Menu and select "Edit
Menus" from the list). Then use "New Entry" under the Menu Editor's File
menu.

Finding any provided icon might prove more difficult though. The
/usr/share/pixmaps directory is a good place to start.

You can also start any program from a terminal, or use the
program launcher. It's very fast and you don't need to hunt around
through menus looking for a program's icon to click.

I figured that, yes. :-) I know nothing about Linux, but that tidbit I
did deduce. How to access them is the problem.

Okay. I have Automatix/2, but haven't used it.

Thank you very much. I have saved this message for future reference.
