Hey all,

A bit of a question. At the moment, I have several databases on my server as well as other things.

The problem is, if I want to dump some files back on the server, update a customer record or alter stock in my supplies, I have to start up a computer and everything which is a pain and it results in things not getting updated properly or as often as it should.

So what I want is a small PC, very low in power, connected to the main TV in the house with a wireless keyboard and a barcode scanner that I have hooked up.

Then all I have to do when I come in is pop the TV on, which usually does get turned on at some point, scan a barcode if Im taking something out of my supply cupboard or update something quickly or dump a file on there to then organise later.

So as for hardware, I was thinking of a Raspberry. However the problem is, my databases are mdb's (MS Access). So since it ships with linux, I need a good free alternative to MS Access for linux. If that doesnt exist, I believe windows CE will work on the system? If so, does it just use win2k/xp drivers or a completely different type of drivers for hardware? I presume MS Access works on windows CE?
