Access

[Jesus Arocho]

I use knoda; it is more mature than kexi and has more functionality.  You may 
also want to check into Rekall.  Unfortunately developement has slowed down 
considerably.  I understand kexi is better integrated with kde; knoda is qt 
based but not necessarily with kde in mind.  I was reading comments on a kde4 
develpment/future type discussion on the subject.  Apparently the kde people 
want to standardize on one system.  kexi, knoda, and rekall were mentioned as 
possible solutions.
