Thanks for the comment, it gives me a good starting point on how to transition from MS to Linux GUI development. I am bit dismayed that there are not many tool suites/frameworks that allow RAD in Linux for Fat Apps... And I like PostgreSQL now better than Oracle's MySQL... and I used to write code in jed, I loved it!

I have looked at several Frameworks/Databases/Development environments and I really don't know what is the best/simplest/fastest to learn approach. I use VS and C# mostly, although I could easily go back to C++. I found Qt and GTK+ are the most common frameworks, but they seem to lack controls that deal with datasets and stuff (sorry, spoiled by the .net form controls), but I also know that I could use Mono in order to make the jump. I would have no problem on moving to MySQL, as I have done quite a lot of work on that side, and I would like to stick with the traditional client server application, as I find it easier to maintain, and a whole lot more robust when it comes to user interaction (web apps for POS applications don't seem to be the right way to go in my view).

Any suggestions/comments/recommendations?
