yum install gnucash

I'm currently using 1.8.12 for an astronomy club. Read the gnucash docs
about how double-entry bookkeeping works, otherwise you'll make a mess of
things. But once you get used to it most transaction become trivial.
Only the transactions where a member has a receipt for reimbursement,
wants to apply this towards dues, a magazine renewal, and the remainder
as a check will cause to to think a minute (all these entries add up to
zero in double-entry bookkeeping).

I was treasurer of that club during 2002-2003 and used gnucash throughout
that period. I even had to build my own RPMs as this was before Fedora
Extras (and I had to test some fixes to bugs I reported, too).

I'm hoping the 1.9.x series goes fairly quickly (switching to gtk2).
