I'm 90% converted over to Linux (and loving it). Big problem - I (have to) use MS Access for school. Is there a Linux DB comparable in flexibility and ease of use? Big plus if it can read/write Access DB files. OBTW: Course evaluations are due next week, and I must thank the Dean of Computer Science for forcing us to use MS products. Every group in our class has had Win95 and/or Office97 problems ranging from crashes to memory leaks. When we graduate, we will know from hard experience which vendor to avoid. I found a memory leak in Access97. We call it Niagara. Appears to leak about 2-3 MB/hr (WOW) while developing apps. Requires restarting Windows to fix.
