Four database options are worth checking out:

MySQL - http://www.mysql.com/
PostgrSQL - http://www.postgresql.org/
Firebird - http://firebird.sourceforge.net/
Ingres - http://www3.ca.com/Solutions/Product.asp?ID=1013

In addition, version 2 of Open Office (in beta now) has it's own 
database a la MS Access and it reads Access mdb files, though not perfectly.
