Re: [PLUG] Linux Finance Programs


I usED GnuCash for years and got fed up with the lack of budgeting, as
well as the useless reports. I made my own ledger using PHP / MySQL and
included simple budgeting support (though they say they plan to add it).
It's a work in progress, but anyone is welcome to the code.

Also, I did play around with Moneydance. There were many things I didn't
like, but I think they were a matter of taste.
