There are a few different alternatives in Linux. Personally, I use gnucash and I love it, but if you're not familiar with double-entry accounting it can be hard to get used to. (Though if you're actually serious about tracking your finances you REALLY should learn double-entry anyway.) > - Syncing with my digital camera, which most people are successful at > under Linux with Linux's own digital camera apps.

Most cameras nowadays will just show up as a regular removable SCSI device. > - Syncing with my Neuros digital audio player.

(neurosdbm.sf.net) It's a Java sync manager that even a lot of Windows users prefer over NSM. I'm a developer on it and I strictly use Debian so I can assure you it works and will keep working. :) There's also Sorune (www.sorune.tk), a Perl-based manager using Tk. I've never used it but it has made a few waves in the Neuros community. I looked at Positron a few times, but it really hasn't been maintained all that well as time has gone by. And it's CLI-only which can make it a bit of a hassle at times. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred.
