To quote http://www.gnucash.org/download.phtml
"Most linux distributions come bundled with a version of GnuCash,
though it's not always the most recent version"
However it does go on to say:
"Still it is recommended to use the GnuCash version that comes with
your distribution."
Which is at least questionable when that version has some known,
potentially serious, problems.
