Do you know if Gnu Cash is available as a package in Ubuntu Maverick or Lucid repositories?

Thanks, Jamal.  Be glad to share the results with you.  So far,
Firefox is in the lead for the most popular FOSS app.  VLC and Open
Office are next in line.  Hardly anyone's heard of Gnu Cash.  That
surprised me.  It's a very nice program actually.  For accessibility
though, it works better in Linux than windows.  Also, and this didn't
surprise, most people don't care if the source code is available on
software or not.  NO price tag is enough for them.  Only about 10% are
exclusive open source users right down to the OS.  Most Open Source
suers are in the "Use it for some  things" category.  Then there was
the huge number who had never heard of open source.

Subject: Need a hand with a school project

Hi, all,


Very sorry to send such a blanket e-mail but I'm in a fix. I've been
asked to create a survey for a school project and generate 20
responses after which I need to gather them up in a presentation. The
survey is called "How do you feel about Free?" and deals with the use
of free software in general and open source software in particular. I
would appreciate it no end if you guys were to take it. It's only 10
questions. The link is below. Just click on it and you'll be in the
survey. Send it to all your friends or to anyone you want to annoy.
I'm totally OK with you using my survey to annoy somebody. Anything
to generate responses. :) Here is the link:

Thanks to all who respond and apologies to those whose inbox I've
filled with junk mail.
Best regards,
Alex
