Time does fly.  It could be that long.

Also the package description blurbs focus on Quicken and QIF support so
it's not obvious that Gnucash is meant for general business use.

The Ubuntu package info says:
        A personal finance tracking program

This is not meant to justify my ignorance, but it does help explain why
I did not delve more deeply.  I'm looking forward to getting Gnucash up
and running.
