Will GnuCash ever work for me?

[Jim Biddle]

I am using mandrake 8.0 with kde or, mostly, ximian with gnome.  Ximian
helps with updates if they are in their channels.  Kde has appfinder which
seems to do me no good at all.  I usually find things by using a bit of 20
year old dos experience.  I will admit that I am getting better if I install
them, but when they are installed along with mandrake or ximian I don't
alway know what is installed.  Nothing seems to to voluntary put an icon on
the desktop which is one way programs and tagalongs are often found in
windows.

Even using the package management of kde leaves me a bit overwhelmed and
doesn't seem to tell me where things are- maybe I just need to get used to
the esoteria.
