Quicken 2005 User Looking To Move To GnuCash - Have some questions

[Dennis Powless]

Yes, you can.  Gc doesn't use categories as quicken, but some thing like
out. So yes, you can doo splits just like quicken.

You can export the data or import easily, it will be some work to convert it
over. But once you commit and do it you will love gc.

Can't comment on the directories,

you can import from some banks, others not so much.  You can do ofx/qfx I
believe....
