> My wife handles our budget and after moving her to Linux (after
> countless hours of frustration with Windows), she migrated all our
> budget items to GNUcash. She was very happy up until the most recent
> release of GNUcash. 
> She is currently running the latest GNUcash RPM release under Red Hat
> Linux 7.2 on a 333MHz processor with 128 MB of RAM. There is not a limit
> of hard drive space, and her issues appear to be software related.
> I am forwarding this email to you in the hopes you can pass it on to
> other GNUcash developers.
> Thanks much

> Money-aaargh!  
> I DO NOT like your new "double entry" system.  I already use the double
> entry 
> system to track my expenses.  I don't need to be forced to do so.  I had

> Also, the calendar that pops up when entering a transaction

> them.

> my 
> assets.  This is confusing.
