From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been using Homebank for years now and I'm very happy with it. Download transaction data from your bank in QuickBooks format and import it into homebank. Then, you can create auto-categorizing rules for all those recurring purchases, and manually assign a category to the other transactions. I do this every month and it now takes 10-15min max to go through all my transactions and check/categorize everything, and see some nice customizable charts of where my money's going.
I also use Homebank, and it’s more than enough for my needs as a single guy
