If a pretty form is what you're after, I'd recommend building the database with a real SQL engine (such as MySQL/mSQL/PostgreSQL) and then attaching to it with the StarOffice database tools. StarOffice is in the [pay] series on the SuSE CD's.
I can't believe anyone would recommend StarOffice database. I tried figuring that thing out. What a pain. Seemed disorganized if that makes any sense.
It ain't the whippiest, but for a cheap SQL engine with a cheap GUI front end it's worth what you paid for it.
No it's not. Because I gave up. So I get zero work done for zero dollars. I'm using the spreadsheet for database purposes. Also, I am fortunate to be using a computer with SuSE at work, and others are using Windows. Guess what my boss says if I can't get something done in Linux, that can be done with a few clicks of the buttons in Windows "Maybe you should use Windows." I am very pleased with Star Offices Word processor and spread sheet. But as for the Database, saying "Well it's free ..." doesn't cut it when I have work to do at the office. Because I will get a computer with Windows shoved under my face real fast, as the boss just wants the task completed.
