Have you ever wished there were a more functional FREE (as in GPL) personal finance program available for Linux? I know I always said there were two things keeping me from dumping Windows entirely

#1 A good Pascal development environment
#2 A financial management package that does scheduled payments and balance forecasts

Since I solved #1, I can write #2 now!

Check out the Freshmeat page!

Features:

• Import / Export QIF files (I imported all my old Microsoft Money 2002 data)

• Balances account
• Import OFX file for automatic balancing (online banking!)
• Import from CBB for X-Windows
• Balance history graph
• Sort by date or transaction number
• Category spending piechart
• Supports split transactions
• Prints checks
• Generate XML reports
• Autocomplete
• Scheduled bill pay
• Balance forecasts
• Balance forecast graph
• Autofill entire transaction based on previous
• Has sound
• No required libraries (other than GTK+)
• It's SMALL! About 2 MB!
• It's fast! Informal tests shows 10 times faster than MS Money with same data!
• Compresses data - a years worth of data takes up about 31k (same data in MS Money takes 3.6 MB)
• It's usable - I'm using it myself now...

KNOWN ISSUES:

• Does not work in AMD64 installs

• Sometimes setting an auto-entered transaction will cause CBT to crash on opening.
