A couple of quickies

  I've no problems with double-entry accounting; have been using that in my
business the past 8 years. But, since my fiancee is not able to maintain the
accounts (for either the business or personal checking), I need to start
getting caught up (starting at the first of this year and do a month per
evening). It's been quite a few months since I was last on here, and much
has changed. Also, I need to re-learn just how gnucash register windows
work.

  It's great that there is documentation available. Is there one place I can
download the whole thing in one piece? I could print to file each separate
page, but downloading the entire document in one file would be very
convenient. Then I can print it as a single document rather than a large
collection of separate pages.

  Also, will there be linux binaries of the 1.6 release for those of us
running Red Hat 6.2? I've learned over the past several years (finally! <g>)
to not upgrade our production systems (which is all we have) until the x.2
release is out a few weeks. I suppose that there is not too much in 1.6 that
we need; it appears that 1.4 has enough. But, I don't recall reading of a
new feature that stood out for me.

  Lastly, I see on the screen shots column headings of "deposit" and
"withdrawal", but in the 1.4.10-1 version installed here, I don't see where
to switch between that and "debit" and "credit". (I did try playing with the
preferences, but I didn't make any difference. Hence, I need to re-read the
docs after about 6 months.)

Thanks,

Rich
