"Quicken" for Linux???

Can anyone tell me if there is a program for Linux that is similar to quicken?

I use KDE on Slackware 10.1

I use "GNU Cash" which should be available for you. It pretty much works like Quicken with only a few minor differences.

If you have quicken files you want to bring into GNU Cash, it's easily done, but once it's done, you can't backtrack. There is no export that will allow you to make quicken files from GNU Cash.

Thanks, Donboy, I 'll give Gnu Cash a try.

Depends on whether you want single or double accounting,
and whether you want online or not. Gnucash uses double
accounting. I use CBT, which is single accounting, but very
simple program. A whole bunch can be found at
