[Kmymoney] yours re questions on KMM / Gnucash

[Michael Berger]

Dear Martin,*
*copy below link into your browser - maybe it can help in taking a 
decision which system to use:

http://accounting-software.findthebest.com/compare/23-110/GnuCash-vs-KMyMoney

I**have been using at least half a dozen of accounting software and came 
across KMM some 7 or 8 years ago. Since then I stick to it and do by no 
means intend to switch back to any other application.
There are three reasons: the developers will not let you down (they 
answer even the most silly questions) and secondly, KMM covers 
everything for private use not only but also most of the features needed 
small business although it does not claim to be made primarily for 
business accounting. Thirdly, it is the most user-friendly accounting 
application I have come across - a great advantage for non-professionals 
and untrained beginners.

Having collected experience in training project counterparts in 
developing countries myself over many years I reckon KMM to be most 
suitable.

Other outstanding features: very good reporting, implementation of 
categories, very easy multi-currencies handling among others.
I will not list here those missing features that are essential for big 
companies and sophisticated accounting. You should read KMM's handbook 
on this (if it comes with your distribution).
I imagine that cheque writing/issuing is common in your country - now 
this is not supported.

I use KMM for both private and business accounting and involve six 
different currencies.
Having Gnucash installed as well my definite choice is KMM.
However, every case is different and the best advice I can give is to 
take your own decision by comparing both systems - no way out!

Too bad if your internet connection is slow and not reliable. Try to get 
a DVD of openSuse 12.3 which will be out in a couple of days.

I am using KMM 4.6.3 under openSuse 12.2. with KDE 4.8.5. Yast offers me 
to install KMM.
I am attaching a screen shot showing the vendor and distributor.

Another option is to use Ubuntu - there you can easily install KMM (no 
need to dig for the right repository)

If you are German - Zaske sounds very much so - you may address me in 
German if you wish using: Michael Berger <idest at online.de>

Good luck
