I'm no expert by any means, but access databases could probably be migrated to MySQL. Access is primarily intended to be a database "front end" or GUI and of course they had to throw in a crappy database so the users have something to work with. MySQL seems to be a pretty robust database, but I'm not sure what the opensource equivalent to Access is (that helps you with forms, reports, queries and the like).

I suspect that quickbooks may run under WINE (XP emulation environment) which is an Ubuntu application. Supposed to be an abbreviation for "Wine is not another Emulator"

A question for those of you with knowledge greater than mine and familiarity with Ubuntu.....how do you run Access-based databases? A good bit of my work is spreadsheet or document based, and OpenOffice will work fine, but it does not play well (or at all, actually) with Access, and significant part of what I do is with Access-based databases. I would love to abandon windows and MS Office, but for my need for the databases. Thanks for any help.
Additionally....I do some minor audio file editing for church (currently using wavepad), and very minor graphics editing (MS photo editor has been adequate for this), as well as ripping a lot of tracks from CDs we record, and then burning CDs from accumulated files (media player does this to our needs). Can I get all this done with software available in or on Ubuntu?
Will my Quickbooks run on Ubuntu?
