    Now I have Ubuntu, I was looking up financial software, and found GNUCash, seemed to be about what I wanted, nothing fancy, but similar to Quicken and Microsoft Money, clicked download, and it brought me to a folder with a whole load of subfolders, appearing to be for various distributions of Linux (Red-Hat, Debian, and others) but nothing seemed to reference Ubuntu, what would I need to download? How do I tell? Anyone advise (sorry, don't know much about Linux yet)

    I think its in synaptic, so that is an easy way to install just about anything. Typically synaptic will set everything up for you to.
