There aren't many that are worth using, although Kapital Gnucash seem to be the best. There's another one, which is written in Java, but I can't remember it's name. Try looking at Freshmeat (http://www.freshmeat.net)

There have been a couple of discussions on Slashdot and the like about this topic and the consensus is that if you are serious about managing your money right, then don't use Linux for it. The tools just aren't ready yet, and a major area of problems is exporting the data in a format that your accountant (who probably isn't a computer guru) can work with. Your accountant will be expecting a Quickbooks or Turbotax or whatever file, and when you try to give him and XML or CSV or however your Linux program exports, it will just make his life harder (and he'll bill you for more hours).
