[wplug-internet] Can I create a new MySQL database?

[Ted Rodgers]

Sorry for the other email, it was a bit early (send vs save).  I meant to
pause and check a dependency list for installing gnucash, but it's not in
the normal repos.

I did find directions for it here:
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/RedHat

It has directions for a centos install of gnucash, but it's not usuing just
rpm's, so there is not an easy update path for it or all it's deps,
particularly slib, which comes as a tarball and need expanded and just
moved to a directory location.  I'm not sure that's a very good idea ...
just because of the lack of update/upgrade path.

Is there anything else out there, maybe a web-based ajax-type applet that
you know of?  Or since wplug has a gmail based calendar, is their office
suite available for use too?  Doing it in a spreadsheet may not be ideal,
but may be better than installing a blob that can't ever be touched.
