Since Intuit tax software uses the horrible product activation, where can I find some free tax software.
Is there a GNU project for tax software? If not, we need one.
If SCO decides to prosecute the open source software projects, such as, Darwin, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, or Linux; I suggest we start a legal fund to hire legal counsel to defend these open source software projects from SCO. Maybe, we could even get help from that famous FSF lawyer. What's her name?
I have worked on the various data providers in Mono. I can say that IBM DB2 Universal Database is something we would like to support. However, there is only so much people can do. Would you be willing to help create an IBM DB2 data provider? I would be more than happy to commit this contribution to cvs for you.
Mono supports ODBC on Linux and Windows. ODBC support on Linux and Unix is via unixODBC. unixODBC can be found at http://www.unixodbc.org/
IBM has excellent ODBC support for their DB2 database for Windows, Unix, and Linux.
This document details IBM's ODBC support for Unix and Linux with DB2.

The libgda library component provides
a database-generic C API. It has providers for
MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, FreeTDS (which is used for Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase), ODBC, DB2, MDBTOOLS (Microsoft Access), and XML.
Libgda works on Linux, Unix, and Windows.
Note: libgda does not require GNOME, it only requires GLib found at http://www.gtk.org/
and libxml2.
Libgda is used as the basis for System.Data.OleDb on the Mono platform available at http://www.go-mono.com/ado-net.html
Libgda provides the database-generic API for GNOME-DB with inspiration based on ADO/OLE-DB.
The Libgda Manual is at:
http://www.gnome-db.org/docs/libgda/index.html
Excerpt from the web page:
The GNOME-DB project aims to provide a free unified data access architecture to the GNOME project. GNOME-DB is useful for any application that accesses persistent data (not only databases, but data), since it now contains a pretty good data management API.
GNOME-DB consists of the following components:
gnome-db: Front-end for database administrators.
libgnomedb: Database Widget Library. These widgets are integrated with the latest versions of glade.
libgda: data abstraction layer. It can manage data stored in databases or XML files and it can be used by non-GNOME applications.

How many analysts does it take to screw in a light build? None, because they can't. They don't know how. They're all full of hot air.

You can always use Red Carpet to get a GNOME 2 snapshot. This is what i did for my Red Hat Linux 7.2 system.
Did you see the Windows setup for Mono? http://www.go-mono.com/archive/mono-0.17-stable.ex e

Please let me know on email list at

if you are interested in helping on this data provider.
Thanks,
