It would be nice to see a Linux/Star Office/MySQL instruction and test group able to offer training and testing on a par with those using closed source systems. I also think that it is more effective to train people to use word- processing software than it is to use Word, spreadsheets, rather than Excel, and to know something about the difference between a spreadsheet and a table rather than Access.
I'm quite happy with Staroffice as an alternative to MS Office but I haven't been able to get my head around MySQL quite so easily as with Access. What sort of front-ends offer levels of flexibility similar to Access while retaining the power to work with the data in a variety of ways?
