Hi--

What are the top packages out there for doing trust and estate accounting under linux?

Thanks!

Don't know any but http://www.gnucash.org/
There has been a nice tutorial in one of the free (beer) linux magazines not long ago. Can't remember which.

Lobais--

Many thanks. I will check out gnucash. I've seen it mentioned around but don't know--until I ask--whether it is considered solid.

Do you happen to know if gnucash has templates or similar set up for accounting for estates? I'd hate to have to recreate a wheel someone else has already done...

Thanks!

I believe that gnucash has been around for quite some time, and as the version number is nearly 2, I think it is quite stable.

I've never actually used the program (never used any estate software (maybe I should try it)), but I found this feature-list: http://www.gnucash.org/en/features.phtml
