Want SQL Server access from Linux in XML form that is open source (GPL)? Check out ODBC Socket Server.
ODBC Socket Server exposes all Windows ODBC data sources via an XML interface and includes clients for every major programming language and environment under the sun!

Best of luck,
http://www.linuxave.net offers free hosting to open source projects. I have been happily hosted there for a few months. However, Sourceforge provides mailing lists, bug tracking, compilation, and other features that Linuxave does not.
ODBC Socket Server easily allows Linux servers to talk to Microsoft Access. There are clients for PHP, Perl, Python, and C++. Its GPL and can be found at http://odbc.linuxave.net. Let me know if you have any questions or comments about the software.
OpenCA looks like a good idea, however a large deterrent is that the certificates it generates are signed by an unrecognized certificate authority to most browsers. What this means is that you get a nasty browser popup upon accessing their secure services. While developers know these popups are harmless, the average user does not.
It would be REALLY nice if OpenCA could get into the "Trusted Certificate Authority" lists of both browsers so you don't have to pay the Verisign tax each time you want to have a seamless SSL site (seamless being defined as an SSL site without nasty SSL popups).
I detest the fact that you have to pay a Trusted Certificate Authority before you can seamlessly secure these sites, whether you are a commercial site or not. Quite frankly I think this situation is almost as bad for consumers as the Microsoft monopoly, both cater to fat corporate clients at the expense of the small guy.
The above comment makes a valid point: What exactly are you protecting?
If it is some private information than you better have some good password validation. However if it is just to store some color preferences on a simple page, then no real validation is necessary (why even have passwords!).
Only you can answer this question. Once you have determined the necessity of password protection can you start to implement a protection scheme. And if you are protecting personal information, remember to encrypt (at least) the password in your database!!
I am almost positive you can overwrite running binaries and loaded libraries in Linux, just the older file is not removed from the system until it is released from memory.
I have upgraded my netscape while using an older version at the same time, and got the new version upon restarting.
I am on RoadRunner using Linux (RH6.1) and running fine. Road Runner went down in my area last night (as they do once every week or so) and I had to do an ifdown/ifup this morning to get back my net connection.
I doubt they are blocking Linux access. E-mail me (fxml@excite.com) if you need more specific help.
For me it was KDevelop. Code Fusion is nice, but KDevelop is kickin' chicken for a great environment. Saves you from figuring out a lot about autoconf, QT, etc... makes migrating frmo Windows development much easier. Plus its open source.
My apologies, I just re-read the post now and realize that this question is specific to your accounting package... humblest apologies. ODBC Socket Server will let you access MS SQL from Linux, which you don't need. Sorry about getting your hopes up.
ODBC Socket Server does exactly what you want. ODBC Socket Server is an open source database access toolkit that exposes Windows NT ODBC data sources with an XML-based TCP/IP interface.
It includes clients for Perl, PHP, C++. The server is GPL, clients public domain.

Ummm.. Konqueror is available for the Zaurus here along with many other GPL utilities.
Please do some research before painting with a broad brush.

Isn't this correct?

Where can one download the beta NDS for Linux? I have checked Novell's site and it just had a press release. Is the beta closed?
Any word on what the costs will be for NDS? Will it be open source?
