Aside from the tab names oddity and the fact that the summary bar for mutual fund accounts treats everything as being 1 dollar per share, I've found no show-stoppers with version 3. Of course, being out here on the bleeding edge, I have an elaborate backup scheme, paper records, and a selection of other distros (even the two expensive OSs that shall not be named) on this and other computers to fall back on if things blow up. So far, no problems. I like the new look, and things seem a bit faster too. -- N. B.

When I converted to gnucash from that other demands-an-annual-update software in 2008, I did what you propose and also ran them in parallel for several months until I was comfortable that I was getting things right in gnucash. There is a bit of a learning curve when transitioning but gnucash is so much better (and free!) that it is more than worth the trouble imho. We don't thank the developers nearly often enough for this wonderful cross-platform software. Good luck! -- N. B.

According to my notes from the last time I fixed Finance::Quote on Tumbleweed (it has *never* worked with openSUSE out of the box for me): 1. Install perl CPAN: "sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell" 2. Try to install Finance::Quote from the CPAN shell: "install Finance::Quote" 3. This will probably end in error because some other stuff needs to be installed first. You're well experienced and will be able to figure this out. I had to install several prerequisits the last time I did it. CPAN error messages are wordy but will guide you. 4. Test the result with "gnc-fq-dump yahoo CVX" from the command line. This should fetch the price of a big evil oil company. I had to go though the same process with this Arch derivative. The maintainers apparently don't test F::Q. HTH -- N. B.
