yep, already done.  so if Ximian isn't out yet with theirs, they get
the good old Vince Lombardi Second Place Trophy.  ;-) I just tried to
find out what version of gnucash was in Ximian, but I couldn't find it
on their web site.

the only bummer about this is the unstable moniker.  This helps some
people to stay away.

I have to agree with James.  Even though gnucash was dying on me
yesterday, it has been fixed now, and now I can do the 'new user
tutorial', and create a new file without death.

biffhero-laptop:~# dpkg -l | grep gnucash
ii  gnucash        1.6.0-2        A personal finance tracking program.

oh, and I didn't need to go to some third party 'distro fixing
service' to get gnucash to work properly.  :-) It 'comes with', as
they say.
