[newbie] OT - Personal Database Applications
I apologize for the off topic post, but I have been searching for a personal database application for linux. I have a friend that is making the transition from MS to linux and she is hoping that their is something that can replace her old dBase III (She didn't care for Access and didn't see a need to change from what worked.). The vast majority of what I run across seems geared for the programmer and web based engines. Does anyone know of a basic database app that would be appropriate for her?
