Gnucash: Opinions please

[Tim Wunder]

In fairness to Lindows, gnucash 1.8.0 was just released in February. 
It's currently at 1.8.2, and some things are broken still (not badly 
broken, but broken none-the-less). Scheduled Transactions being one of 
the broken features. They work, mostly, and I use them heavily (I've 
been using gnucash from CVS for months, specifically for the SX's), but 
there's a minor problem with the transactions not being exactly valid. 
And SX's don't work with the Postgres backend, yet (but the pg backend 
is not the default and you need to jump thru some hoops to get it to work).

Then again, the latest 1.6.x version is 1.6.8, released in August of 2002...
