For a traditional database, you can either use PostgreSQL or one of the MySQL/MariaDB family. I tend to use PostgreSQL, but I get the impression it's not a big difference; either of them will do a good job. > I am also looking for a client management system where I can set up events > such as automatic reminders, and Birthday greetings and the like and I am > as well looking to back that up to a secure cloud server. Hmm, there are several CRM systems for Linux (cross-platform), but I haven't had a chance to evaluate and compare them recently. I think last time I set one up it was OpenERP, there's also SugarCRM and a couple of others. It may be worthwhile to get one which works with the database you picked in point 1 (or vice versa), to simplify administration.
