Sorry, forgot to add:

Linux (x86 processor, does not include Java) This download assumes you
already have Java installed. After the download is finished,
double-click the moneydance_linux_x86.tar.gz file and extract its
contents or run "tar xzf moneydance_linux_x86.tar.gz" from the command
line, in the same directory as the downloaded file. You can then run
Moneydance by double-clicking the "Moneydance" icon in the newly created
folder.

So, once downloaded:

- open Nautilus (Places|Home...) and double-click... the archive manager
will come up. Now click 'Extract' & notice that under 'Actions' both
'Re-create folder... and Overwrite...' should be checked. Click OK.
after doing that you will find a folder for Moneydance (again via
Nautilus) and double click on the 'Monkeydance' file (7.6KB shell
script). Moneydance will start and then inform you that it's a limited
preview and that you can enter 100 transactions. Now for $10 I'll tell
you how to uninstall it :-) Just kidding - to uninstall just delete the
moneydance_linux_x86.tar.gz from where you downloaded it, then delete
the Moneydance folder that you installed it into.

Now, go and have a look at gnucash:

Ask Quicken why they continue to not offer quicken for linux.
