Comment 14 for bug 52486

I am converting several computers to Ubuntu. One of the most important programs is GnuCash. We are happy with the operation of 1.8 with the exception of no budgeting capability. This seems to be added to 2.0 which will make this program perfect for us. Our problem is that I do not even know what backporting is. Until this become available on one of the Ubuntu repositories we will not be able to use it. Can anyone guess when this might be done. How will I know when it is done? Will I just have to update the application? How does a novice Ubuntu user get GnuCash 2.0 running on my machine as soon as possible.
