GnuCash
by Stuart Bailey 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

I'm have been using GnuCash 1.8.8 for the last 9 months for my business accounts. My accountant has just ask me for my account in a spreadsheet format - I'd be happy with CSV. I can't find anyway in GnuCash to export to anything other than xml. Is there anyway to export to spreadsheet - even via a third party tool? Many thanks, Stuart. -- --------------------------------------- Stuart Bailey BSc (hons) CEng CITP MBCS LinuSoft (Proprietor) Linux Specialist (01953) 601294 (07778) 383739 http://www.linusoft.co.uk ---------------------------------------- ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential.

Ubuntu opinions
by Jenny Hopkins 05 Jun '05

05 Jun '05

Hi List, A friend of mine is trying out Ubuntu linux. I know there are some ALUG members who have tried Ubuntu and rave about it enthusiastically (you know who you are :-)) Anyway, I said I would ask what is so great about it and what the general opinion is and how it differs from, say, debian. Thanks, Jenny

Where do I find colour names?
by Chris Green 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

Where can I find the file that lists the X colour names? E.g. where are things like 'grey90', 'magenta4' and 'blue3' defined? I can find it on my Solaris machine at work but not on my Linux box at home. -- Chris Green (chris(a)areti.co.uk) "Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence."

"The World Tonight": Brazil & OSS
by Ted.Harding＠nessie.mcc.ac.uk 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

Hi Folks, There was a neat item on "The World Tonight" tonight (Radio 4, Tue 31 May) regarding what looks like a very determined effort by Brazil to move to Open Source. You can Listen Again in the usual way to the whole program if you want to, but to get just the OSS item feed the following to RealPlayer: rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio4/worldtonight/ worldtonight_tue.ra?start="00:33:45.0"&end="00:39:15.0" (this is all one line). Best wishes to all, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <Ted.Harding(a)nessie.mcc.ac.uk> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 094 0861 Date: 01-Jun-05 Time: 01:43:50 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------
