There was an introductory article on gnucash in the April, 2001 issue
of Linux Journal.  I just received the May issue in the mail this week
so last month's issue might still be on newstands.

I don't remember if it addressed QIF importing, but it did discuss in
some detail the double-entry ledger system gnucash uses.  It's a
different mindset than Quicken which may be the source of your
confusion.
