Quicken 2008 for Ubuntu Linux?


I was configuring a Dell Ubuntu system just now and during the config process they now have a section for “Top Selling Software”. I was perplexed when I saw “Quicken Home and Business 2008″ as the only top selling software option to order with the Ubuntu Dell system. So I went over to Quicken.com and sure enough they don’t show any Linux supported versions. I also asked the “Live Chat” person and he said I cannot “buy the Quicken for your Linux”. Oh well..

    Check out Yodlee MoneyCenter. It’s similar to Quicken except it’s web-based and free.

    Actually, http://www.mint.com seems better than Yodlee

    Actually, Mint is NOTHING like quicken. It’s missing a TON of features.

    Quicken can happen on Linux. CodeWeavers Crossover Office (think WINE on steroids) is reputed to handle it quite tidily.

    You must really love Linux to give up Quicken for Yodlee :) or you must really know Linux (and probably Windows troubleshooting) to handle WINE nightmare

    Hello
    I use Quicken 2005 on Ubuntu 8.04 Using Code Weavers Crossover Office. Most features work well, you can download a trial version from Code Weavers. I also run Office 2003, Visio, and Internet explorer. Crossover is easy to use. The programs install just like they would in windows
