It's an "other" for me too. I wrote some checkbook software in php about 4 years ago that my wife still likes to use. It does the job!

That is interesting to see so many accounting programs for linux. The person who pushed me into linux still uses a bash script that he wrote to keep his records. Back when I used to do taxes, he would bring over his shuttle box. I remember him extracting records from the command line so we could fill out the old schedule "C". He even did a nifty checky writing program. It was all fast.

I have ledgersmb set up on the web server, so that way I can enter in data remotely while traveling or the bettter half can enter data whenever she needs to. That also means I do not have to spend time entering income or expenses when I get back. However, I still have a tendency to use spreadsheets, when I do not need double entry accounting or just to do detail work. I am in the process of converting all the code written in qbasic we used for our accounting software to freebasic. Might be neat to do a conversion to php and or java as a parallel project.
