I have used GnuCash for several years and have been pleased with it as
a means of budgeting and managing a variety of accounts.  For a sole
proprietor, it will get the job done. That said, I believe the lack of a
built in payroll tax system for calculating deductions makes it not
particularly easy to use for a business with employees, especially
hourly employees.

I find it to be stable and have never lost data with it running on
my Debian systems.
