If you are running SuSE 6.0 then PostgreSQL-6.4 is probably already
running. One of the packages on the SuSE CD is pg_iface and another is
pg_access. Pg_access is a tcl package that looks and runs similar to,
but not exactly nor as extensive as MS Access. It is very nice
however. It's query design screen is almost an Access look-a-like.
Reports, views, scripts, queries, tables, etc. Really nice. Free.
PostgreSQL is a *very* nice database engine. It would have absolutely
NO trouble with your 9Kb rows of contacts and 2Kb rows of companies,
since it has been run with 200GB of data. It has a nice little console
program called psql, which can be used to work with the db manually
also.

Linux, because it's STABLE, the source code is included, the price is
right.
