Re: Hi, I wanted to ask your opinion.

HI
There is always Reality which is closest to what you know from Northgate,
very big in the UK where OpenQM comes from. Personally I use D3 but there
are no freebies there as far as I know you would need to check with a
Raining Data var.

I need advice on choosing a free version of a "Pick Operating System"
DBMS for a personal project on a home computer.

The software needs to only accomodate one user. So the different free
versions would seem to be OK.

I am trying to decide which one of the different potential candidate
packages would best suit my needs.

I have written Data-Basic on a Microdata Reality. (I wish I was that
young again.)

I have several home computers which I might choose to write and compile
code on. I have a 2001 vintage P4, 1.5 Ghz. 756 RAM for which I have
Windows 98 SE and whatever Linux I can scrounge up. (Right now that is
Puppy Linux.) I am working on getting Open SUSE and maybe White Box
Linux (A free version of Red Hat 4..). I also have 300 Mghz Celeron,
160 MB of RAM. A 400 Mghz Pentium MMX, 160 MB RAM with a faster
graphics card.

I can not afford to purchase Windows XP.

I have looked at packages like Maverick, Jbase, OpenQM. I have not
yet gotten any of these packages to install yet. I notice Maverick
requires other components besides JAVA. If you recommend Maverick.
Please recommend which Compiler and DBMS to go with it? I have only a
little experience with Linux and so installing anything is a trial.

I had thought I could use one of the slower machines to write and
compile code on. I am not sure that any of my computers can happily
carry the weight of a heavier Linux and a compiler.

I thought I would ask someone who has experience before I spend hours
trying to install a one of the versions of Pick OS and learn it.

Thank you for whatever advice you can give.
