Chris,
I hope you have success in completing a migration to GNU /
Linux based systems.

If you're looking for an engine "similar" to access (in terms of light
weight), I prefer SQLite. The reason is that It's a very simple engine,
is file based (that's probably the only similarity) and you don't really
need to administer a database server (MySQL and PostgreSQL are
examples). However, if the databases are there and available already
then there's no reason not to use them. Another PRO in the SQLite
direction is that it's probably quite easy to migrate between different
machines since a file copy will do the job, as opposed to an export /
import operation for an SQL Server.
Gary.
