Since we paid for the professional license, we get OpenMake for "free", so I figured I would try it out. The conclusion is that it isn't worth anything.

GnuCash / Debian update – November 14, 2005 (read more)

I guess I am asking for it, running the gnucash source (1.8.9), but running everything else from Debian testing.
