Progress in my evolution from Windows

[life0riley]

Congratulations on your success with David!

I've been slowly transitioning from Windows for some time.  I'm still
running GnuCash side by side with Quicken and plan to do that for a few more
months to make sure I am setup correctly.  Quicken was the last thing I had
to keep Windows for.

I read Tutorial and Concepts Guide extensively.  I spent a lot of time
searching Google for answers to my questions and eventually found GnuCash on
nabble.  I subscribed to the nabble and have mail delivery turned on.  I
follow the threads to see if there is any relevant info for my situation.  I
search the mail list with nabble and  gmane
<http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.gnucash.user>   for any
questions I have.  So far I've been able to find the info I needed thanks to
the knowledgeable people that have replied to the threads.

I run Windows as a virtual guest on my Linux host using VirtualBox.  I'm
currently running GnuCash in Xubuntu.

I feel safer using the GnuCash version in the repositories.  David's depends
on what Linux Mint release and which Ubuntu release it tracks.  I'm
currently using GnuCash 2.6.1 without issue.
