So I decide it's time to try gnucash.  I spend about sixteen hours yesterday tracking down, downloading, and installing dependencies, quite a few of them undocumented, another sizeable group not where the gnucash documentation (yeah, the most recent version) says the download sites are.  Finally I get all the ducks in a row, and it takes about 15 minutes to compile and install gnucash.

(Applications with a dependency tree are nothing new.  Gnucash has a dependency forest.)

So what do I have to show for this?  Well, I have a good CPU stress-tester now:  by trying to start gnucash, I can drive CPU load to 100% indefinitely without a window ever appearing.....

when someone ports M$ Money off the platform, I'll be in hog heaven.. It really is the shit, I despise quicken even more now after switching to Money about 18 months ago. GnuCash is - obscene.

Even M$ Money doesnt have an option to save to the MSDE SQL Backend.
