I really like PostgreSQL myself, it doesn't come with an Access-like GUI by
default but you can certainly find a few, both web based and for X.
Personally, I kinda like SQL on the console. :)
I guess it depends on your definition of simple, but SQL is really easy to
learn, the docs are fairly well written, and there's plenty of material on
the web.
You can also use it *from* Access by connecting to it via ODBC, which is
pretty cool if you're needing a simple interface. Plus, it makes importing
the data into Access a breeze - you just tell it to!
The good things about PostgreSQL is that you can start off simple and crank
up the complexity as you learn. If by chance you're using RedHat 6.2, there
are RPMs ready to roll on the CD, and you can always "apt-get install
postgresql" in Debian.
Keep my email address if you want someone to quiz over the holidays. :)
