Linux Free Money

What is Free Money:

Free Money is an Open Source money management tool for Linux. Free Money is developed and maintained by Master Switch.

Current Status:

Free Money is in its very early development stage. It is not useful at this time, for the moment. Free Money should only be downloaded by developers interested in helping with its development.

Current Release

Free Money 0.0.7 Beta

Project Goals:

The ultimate goal for Free Money is to develop a versatile, easy to use money management utility for Linux users. Free Money will ultimately have a GUI and an NCURSES front end. The structure of Free Money is designed to be modular, making it easier to develop, upgrade, and debug. Currently, the File IO and Money Management core are the key modules being developed. Free Money currently sports an NCURSES front end. GUI development is slated for later in the development cycle. Documentation can be found here

Notes:

Free Money is my first OSS development project. I am aware that there are other financial tools available for Linux. I am not trying to duplicate effort, instead, I want to use my experience from this project to further my skills in developing for the OSS community. As such, any comments or suggestions you may have are greatly appreciated. To contact me, e-mail MasterSwitch@netscape.net

Download:

Download Free_Money.tgz . Execute "tar xvfz Free_Money.tgz", and have fun:)

For the curious:

Free Money is developed on an AMD K-6II 400mhz chip. This system has 128M of PC100 memory, runs Red Hat 5.2 with kernel 2.2.4 The machine is named Metaphor, and is up 24-7-365. The system is home built, and includes an adaptech 2910 single ended SCSI II to PCI adapter,
DEC TLZ06 SCSI tape drive, Acer CD ReWriter, Maxtor 8.4 gig EIDE hard drive, Diamond Viper 330 Riva 128 graphics card, Vibra 16 Sound card, 3 Com 3c509 EISA to ethernet adapter, US Robotics 56k modem, and a parallel port Zip 100 drive. This system is supported by a Vectra 486/33vl Hewlett Packard running Red Hat 5.2 and kernel 2.2.1, and a home built with an AMD 586 running 133mhz with SuSE 6.0 and kernel 2.2.1. Both subsystems contain 3c509 EISA 3COM cards. The Hewlett Packard is named Chaos, and the home built is named Reality.

Reality functions as a backup file server over standard NFS. Chaos is a database server for Postgres. Well, I hope that satiates your curiosity. As for me, I work for a company that ports VMS applications to Unix and NT. I function as a migration developer. I have experience with Digital Unix, AIX, Open VMS 6.1-7.2, IBM OS/390 OMVS, HPUX, and of course LINUX:) My specialty is C, though I am a relatively new developer, as you will see when you see my code :(
