Not really. The accounting princples are pretty much the same but 
gnucash is double entry, quickbooks is some weird hybrid. I'm using 
quickbooks online now, used gnucash for about 4 years. Other than the 
fact that they both enter finacial info and the name of the reports are 
generally the same they are very differnt tools. You can get quickbook 
running on Linux with CrossOver (proably with Wine as well). My personal 
.02 cents , if you know what you're doing gnucash is *way* faster 
(meaning you can get what you need done faster) but if you don't know 
something quickbooks is a lot more forgiving (and has *tons* of online 
help etc...).
