I am a linux user who is trying out Fund Manager, using Wine under Mepis 8.0. It seems to work fairly well, tho some things are a bit awkward. For example I cannot always see the "help", nor the tutorial. But this isn't a big problem, as these things are viewable on the Fund Manager web site.
I had never used Wine nor Fund Manager before, and frankly I am finding it a bit difficult to become comfortable with them. But as Jim is an experienced and satisfied Fund Manager user, I hope he'll try it under Wine.
btw, I have made an extensive search for linux porffolio management software, and I couldn't find anything useful. I've been using an old DOS program,which I bought in the '80s. It works surprisingly well (using linux dosbox), but of course is totally unsupported and lacks modern features. I don't mind paying for linux software that does what I need, but there is just nothing available.
