Is there any kind of grid-focused database software available that runs on Linux natively or through Wine?

Hi cicerosc,
I’ll make a stripped down version of IQ for you to see if we can get it to run on Wine. Give me a few days…

@Pierre: A stripped down version of IQ? Sounds interesting, very interesting.

I’m finishing up the new tag system and will then do some test on a linux virtual machine, any preferred distribution ?
For those not aware, I’m currently implementing a true multi-parent hierarchical tagging system for InfoQube with support for AND, OR, NOT operators as described by Paul here:

(he doesn’t mention multi-parent… that’s my contribution :-) )
It is very powerful !!!

Pierre—
1 - I would be very grateful for a slimmer version and will look forward to testing it and giving feedback.
2 - I use MX-17 linux, which is debian based. I’ve done a lot of distro-hopping and it’s my two cents that debian (the root of Ubuntu) is the best guarantee of the widest compatibility. I am no expert but I also observe the continuing wars between gnome developers and others, such as QT-based developers, and I think if I were a developer I would avoid trying to use the very cutting edge distros (such as the GTK3 ?) and I would use something that’s been out a while (such as in ubuntu’s case 16.04 rather than 18, or debian 8 jessie rather than stretch 9) No doubt there are others here better than me for this kind of advice, but using a version of a distro that is a year or two old for development would probably mean the end result has greater compatibility with the widest variety of distros. All that being said, anything you produce I will be testing using MX17 and Crossover wine.

Wondered about these limiting & suspicious assumptions, asked a Linux expert friend who agreed with details, also informed me on several more killer Linux apps for outlining/note takers-2-xls/csv/db, as am increasingly using Linux mode on Chromebook myself.
