Um, try www.gnucash.org? The most significant difference is Gtk 2.

Depends.. You can put gnucash2 into /opt/gnucash2 and it shouldn't
interfere with a 1.8 install in /usr. When you first run gnucash2
it will try to import your gnucash-1.8 data file, and so long as you're
in an English-speaking country you should be able to go back and forth
between 1.8 and 2.0 with your datafile.. Provided you don't use
any new-in-2.0 features.
