Re: [PLUG] GnuCash


I haven't used GnuCash, but last week I started setting up Sql-Ledger on
a test basis.  I want to switch from an old Mac program (MYOB) to
something under linux, and I just thought Sql-Ledger looked good.  I
also wanted to try setting it up because it will force me to learn a bit
about things like Postgres, sql, perl, and databases in general.  Oh-- I
almost forgot: it forced me to set up Apache on one of my machines for
the first time, which was interesting in itself.

If I get it all working well I post a review...

(And I'd be interested in anybody else's perspectives on Sql-Ledger if
theyhave any.)
