"You see, we work hard for our pay cheques - well, some of us work
harder than others - and we spend money on groceries, utilities and,
ahem, fun Fridays. But keeping track of what's coming in, when the bills
are due and how much is left after the recurring monthly expenses is not
something that many of us make the effort to do. It's time-consuming and

"yum install homebank" or sudo apt-get install homebank command away.
You can similarly install it on Debian, OpenSUSE, Mandriva and Arch
Linux using their native package managers."

2. It can press a particular button in a window
3. It can enter text into windows then press a button
