YES!  IT WORKS!  No, it is not the most practical solution for many as 
it *is* still an emulated linux environment.  Between the XServer and 
the coLinux/Debian distributions you're looking at 2gb total disk space. 
  My one friend, though, has lots of disk space and this solution will 
eliminate the need for dual booting.

We're trying to load his previous data file (from FreeBSD) and are 
receiving the following error.  We've opened this file with different 
versions of GnuCash in the past (again on BSD) so we're not sure exactly 
what's happening.  Is this a low-level datafile problem? or some other 
type of issue?  I am running Gnucash version 1.6.6 as fetched by 
Debian's "apt-get install gnucash".  I am also including the first few 
lines of the datafile.

Thanks so much for your time and Justin for the push in the right direction!
