15:33:23 *** RedNifre has joined #gnucash
15:33:27 <RedNifre> Hey there!
15:34:05 <RedNifre> I just installed gnucash and began reading the manual. How long does it usually take until I know enough to use the program properly?
15:35:45 *** Phil has joined #gnucash
15:39:06 *** warlord-afk is now known as warlord
15:39:13 <warlord> RedNifre: depends how quickly you read and learn..
15:39:22 <warlord> .. and which features you feel you need to know.
15:39:53 <RedNifre> I'm usually a fast learner, but clueless about finances. I guess I'll only need basic features for now.
15:40:03 <warlord> I would recommend you just start playing around; spend a day or two entering "sample" data, and then once you get comfortable start over with your real data.. Note that you can still use your "real" data as your "sample" data.
15:40:27 <RedNifre> Why wouldn't I use "real" data from the start?
15:40:29 <RedNifre> What could go wrong?
15:40:32 <warlord> .. but be ready to start over after you get comfortable, because you will make mistakes and it'll probably be easier to start over.
15:41:00 <RedNifre> Huh? You mean I can mess it up in such a way that it can't be fixed and I have to start over? O_o
15:41:00 <warlord> Because you may decide you want a completely different hierarchy or something where it would be easier to re-enter than to shift everything around
15:41:05 <warlord> but of course up to you.
15:41:11 <RedNifre> hm, ok.
15:41:13 *** JesseW has joined #gnucash
15:41:23 <warlord> No, it *can* be fixed, but might be more expedient to start over.
15:41:24 <RedNifre> thanks for that hint, I did not expect that.
15:41:48 <warlord> (note: *might*.)
15:42:20 <RedNifre> Guess I'll try to get a broad overview now and spend the next weekend using it seriously.
15:43:04 <warlord> You can walk thought the tutorial..
15:44:32 <RedNifre> I'm reading the "gnucash-guide" right now.
15:44:58 <RedNifre> that's what the url says, the link says "the tutorials and concepts guide" so I guess I'm already using the right thing.
15:45:04 *** Phil has quit IRC
15:46:23 *** JesseW has left #gnucash
15:47:15 <RedNifre> Hm, I wonder if I could use one GnuCash for my real accounting and another one for the accounting in a complex online game... is that possible or should I have two different user accounts on my computer for these separate tasks?
15:47:54 <RedNifre> .oO( Hm, might not be a bad idea to have two different user accounts for games+WWW and banking + accounting )
15:49:17 <RedNifre> The tutorial has a section about installation and SQL, but I already installed it via the repositories and it didn't complain about SQL. I guess it'l work right out of the box?
