Personal database software for *nix?

[Greg Rundlett]

Hi Ben,

There is the possibility that OpenOffice.org would suit your needs.  
Right now OO.org has a nifty Access-like GUI tool that can access any 
database via any connector (so you can use MySQL via ODBC on both Linux 
and Windows).  It is a bit hidden in the background.  You open any 
writer or calc document, then choose 'Data Sources" from the View menu 
(or just press F4).  They are advancing the "Data Sources" toolset to be 
another standalone member of the OO.org family.  At the moment, you can 
do all kinds of GUI manipulation, data entry, sorting, dragging, create 
queries, create forms, and reports etc.  It is very Access-like.

It also automatically finds your address book, and creates a data source 
for that :-)
