Moneydance.  Written in Java (on a Mac, I understand), runs nicely in
Linux.  The same data files can be used across different platforms.  Not
free, but inexpensive and well worth its cost.  I've been using it for
years.

 I've used GnuCash for years and find it excellent. You can open the data file
 with GnuCash running on Linux or Windows (not simultaneously). It handles
 multiple bank accounts including in different currencies. If you are
 conscientious about allocating expenditure to different expense accounts such
 as food, drink, electricity, rates, etc, it is really good for reviewing where
 all your cash went at the end of the year.


Yes I was afraid of that!

I run both Copyleft and personal finances using the same bank accounts 
with the help of GnuCash.
