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.)
