What do i want to do ?
-create customised databases on the fly for simple chores like maint an addressbook, cd collections, inventory, employees roll
recipe collection etc
Postgresql with pgaccess can definitely do that. No doubt. It might not be that easy to start with.
-maintain a personal home page.
You don't need dreamweaver for a personal home page. Anyways, quanta and bluefish are both good enough.
- maintain a collection of photos and exchange albums or collages. -make audio CDs from mp3 or other formats.
k3b zindabad..
- edit videos and create video cds for personal or official work(without breaking any laws)
Audacity/broadcast200 would do that.
-print some cute cards for friends,family..?? What's different than setting up a printer and using say kword?
-run some educational cd for learning anything (nursery rhymes for my daughter ... to bhagavatgeetha for me)
Depends. If that CD has autorun.exe, how do you expect it to run?
i am yet to see a linux machine which caters for everyone in a family. am i asking for too much ?
Functionally not. By means of unfamiliarity yes. You will find it lot different than doing same things from windows.
I do all those things at home except printing(I don't have printer at home. At work yes), photo albums and video editing. I have done each of these in linux, just not on home machine.
