That's where I looked at first. I don't really like the idea of
depending on a Windows application on my Ubunut box. However I found
Moneydance to not have all the features I needed. I actually imported
all my data into Moneydance (which took a considerable amount of time
too) and started using it. General banking stuff worked great, however
for investments I found it to be incomplete. For one, it didn't have a
way of specifying accrued interest when buying or selling bonds, which
breaks havoc when trying to compute capital gains on those securities.

For the moment, I am stuck with Money.

Thanks, I actually got it working. I will submit a report shortly.
