Installing gnucash
Hi,
Linux is completely new to me but I am trying the learn the system. Finally after trying a number of distributions I found my old 333mhz machine would run Ubuntu. One program I am using on 'that other' operating system is quicken and I read that gnucash is similar to it so I downloaded it. However, when I go to install it . . . it took me a couple days to figure that one out! It told me I needed support programs that my system didn't and couldn't have. What am I doing wrong . . . or what information to you need in order to tell me what I am doing wrong? :newbie: Tim |

That ubuntu guide I linked to is very helpful in setting up Ubuntu as a desktop. Also google for "Automatix" which is a collection of scripts someone wrote to help do things like install java, flash, firefox 1.5, etc...

What about installing gnucash in SUSE? Is it the same as Ubuntu?

NO offense. I appreciate you trying to help but switching to Ubuntu is not what I had in mind. |
