As a former (happy) user of Quicken 2000, about 3 years ago I was
testing Fedora Core 1 and did some theoretical-only evaluation of
GnuCash.

        - http://gnucash.org/

At that time, through a lengthy discussion with one of the developers
(which was another Derek BTW), I found that the only Quicken feature
that I missed in GnuCash was some cross-referencing functionality on
reports (I forgot what it was called). Other than that I found that GC
was pretty much complete as an accounting tool (and also visually
similar to Quicken - graphically-wise it is a very sophisticated
piece).

The guys from gnucash.org don't do much publicity, so their app is not
as widely known as it probably deserves.
