actually, you'd be surprised, I think.

Linux already has a slew of good DBMS backends. RedHat Linux ships with PostgreSQL - which runs very well, for free. You get the source to it and everything. Other free or commercial RDBMS's are available.

I'd LOVE to see a VFP look/act-alike for Linux. even just something CLOSE would be nice.

btw: linux is my specialty (UNIX, more generically). I've been admin'ing and coding, and recently kernel hacking for a number of years (since I was 17, OK :)
I enjoy fox, and it is the ONLY language I have any interest in working on under Windowz.
