It's not all that hard to install on a modern distro. If you have any Gnome 
1.4 apps installed, it shouldn't be hard at all. But in a few months, the 
gnome 2 port will be done. 
Hell, with Fedora Core 1 it was as easy as 'sudo yum install gnucash'.

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts
