Hi Art, All of that sounds like web apps - which I have decided not to do. Is there anything equivalent to a .Net Winform app? Thanks!

(was: Linux vs Windows) Apps for Linux... Open Office or OfficeLibre give you everything Office does except Access. There is Open Office Base but it's nowhere near as powerful as is Access. In terms of #.Net, there is the Mono project and its C# compiler. In terms of SQL Server, you have MySQL Oracle Express, PostGres and a few NoSQL entries. As regards a front end for MySQL or other databases, the most common approach is PHP + Apache, but Ruby on Rails is also very popular; so is Python. See also our (Peter's and my) TheUsual.php (available from our web site (artfulsoftware.com). For typical db admin stuff, there are SQLBench and phpAdmin. And not to forget Tcl/Tk for designing GUIs. Perl is pretty much history.
