I AM IMPRESSED!!!! I have been trying to find something to replace my Quicken because I was fed up with Windows. I failed, so I started looking for a way to run Quicken on Linux. I installed SuSE8.2 and got the latest wine download 20040213 from winehq.com. This allowed me to load and run my old Quicken 2000Basic but not my new Quicken 2004Deluxe. Also, I couldn't do anything that required the browser. I found CrossOver when I searched for "Internet Explorer" +wine on Google. Actually, I found a script for installing IE6.0. It might have worked if I had uninstalled the binary install of wine I did a couple of days ago like the page warned, but I didn't and it locked up at 78%, so I figured I'd try out the CrossOver demo. The install went smooth as silk. No problems what-so-ever. I didn't have to uninstall my old wine or anything. After installing CrossOver Office, I first tried my Quicken 2004Deluxe. It recognized that I had some problem with the filesystem (I think) and volunteered to fix it. I let it and the install proceeded, then it recognized that I needed arial TrueType font and got that. The rest of the Quicken install went without a hitch. The Quicken install got IE and Quicken ran the first time I started it. So I restored the backup of my Windows version of Quicken and all my data is there and looks good. There is one fly in the ointment. 2004 still hangs when it trys to load the browser. I can launch IE from the desktop and everything works fine. It even tried to do a windows update! However, because I can't launch the browser from within Quicken I can't register Quicken so I can't do my data updates. I have a support request in to Codeweavers.com, the people who wrote CrossOver. Hopefully, the browser issue will be easily solved. However, I was so impressed with this product that I wanted to let the list know.
