Darryl,
An SQL database accessed and maintained with PHP might work for you.
You might want to take a look at that one...I used to used SQL and PHP with
IRIX so I
am fairly confident that you could get this running on Linux. PHP is
somewhat similar to Perl so
if you have some knowledge there (which I would assume you do based on the
Linux experience)
it so should not be hard for you to pick it up.
Check the PHP site for more info:
