Bryan,

>>the problem with KOffice is that it is only native to Linux... 

Oops... But for a hypothetical Free OS/Free Office Suite/EZ-MRP bundle,
that would be OK. 

I looked at the Koffice web site, and found out these things about Kexi:


* Native MySQL/PostgreSQL support
* No ODBC support 
* Uses SQLite as its native engine
* Native Forms, in the Access sense
* Conversion of Access Data to native format (early beta, though) 
* No Reports yet. 

That last bit is a kicker. No reports = not yet ready for primetime. 

-Ken
