[SLUG] Linux Databases

[Edwin Humphries]

I'm trying to convert my personal PC use from Windoze to Linux. But there 
is a Win application that I've used for a long time for flat-file 
databases: Filemaker Pro. It's much better than other simple Win databases 
(eg, Access) and it isn't Microsoft!

Can anyone suggest a Linux alternative? My key database is a database of my 
experimentation with bush food plants (yes, I know geek and gardener seem 
somewhat contradictory :-). This has several fields that contain bitmaps 
(photographs of plants). I know about SQL databases, but it seems a tad 
overkill for this - and there isn't a simple GUI front-end.
