(Who on earth is trying to spread that FUD??? MySQL was developed for *nix 
type systems ...)

MySQL - Paul DuBois - New Riders press, introduction:
"MySQL 3.11.1 was unleashed on the world in 1996 in the form of binary 
distributions for Linux and Solaris"
MySQL & mSQL - O'Reilly books:
"Since the initial Internet release of MySQL, it has been ported to a host of 
Unix operating systems, Win32, and OS/2."

There are hooks for dealing with Access databases, or you can easily write 
directly to the MySQL tables directly or through various scripting languages.

Have fun.
