Which Gantt chart/Project management tool would you recommend for linux?

I need a Project management tool that works in Linux, and has Gantt charts.

It doesn't have to be free, just not expensive.
I don't care how it stores the information I give it, as long as I can access it.
I must be able to print the Gantt charts.
Must work in Linux.

With those requirements, what can you recommend?

TheObserver asked a windows specific version of this question here.

Thanks for the help everyone.

The answers to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/171809/is-there-any-latex-package-for-drawing-gantt-diagrams. may be viable.

Interesting. Is "gantt" the proper spelling? If so, that would explain why I didn't find that question.

You could try http://live.gnome.org/Planner maybe it satisfy your needs. :)

Planner, and OpenSched, in that order. There are some decent online Gantt (this is the correct spelling) chart tools online as well, usually integrated within a project management or bug-tracking web app or software package.

I use TaskJuggler - it's more powerful than other OSS software I've tried, but it's very complicated. It's the only software I found that could do what I needed, but I still consider it to be "best of a bad bunch". I too wouldn't mind paying, if I could be sure the software would do everything I needed.

The big flaw with planner seems to be around resource leveling/allocation but I admit I haven't looked deeply into it. Planner would be my second choice.

You could also try some of the web-based project management tools. These days they fare quite well to the desktop alternatives. I can recommend dotProject. It's a nice, easy to use tool and it has printable gantt charts.

Although I like and use dotProject, it has issues with Gantt Charts when the project gets above a certain level of complexity (it just fails to generate them).

You can increase the memory allowed in PHP (System Configuration has a setting to set how much memory to use for gantt chart generation) and it should be fine after that.
