What does Firebird have going for it in your opinion?

There is an app called Rekall that looks like a really great Access replacement but the authors seem intent to keep it in obscurity by selling the binaries (I think) and only offering the source for free which is a serious PITA to compile because of all of the dependencies that KDE apps always seem to have. It looks reasonably mature though and if they would just make easy to download binary rpm's available and maybe some more docs it could be a real hit. -- Tracy Reed http://ultraviolet.org This message is cryptographically signed for your protection.
