For a good "equivalent" to MS Access, have you looked at Borland's Kylix?
It's the only RAD tool I've been able to find. Plus it can utilize many
different back-end databases, including Oracle.

Subject: [SLUG] Question: Linux for Business

Folks-

Demo-ing linux on a small scale for a business in Orlando, and one of the
main concerns is MS Office compatibility. (Of course) I'm going to recommend
StarOffice and Applixware as suites, or AbiWord and Gnumeric as
stand-alone programs.

Two part question:
a.) What's a good equivalent to MS access or powerpoint? Preferably gnome
and not KDE, with an equivalent "look n' feel" to MS.

b.) Anyone tried Samba 3.0's active directory features? If so, wanna talk
shop?

Still pretty new to slug,
Jeremy
