I'm looking for some sort of database or spreadsheet application to use as a personal filing system. I'll be organizing a lot of different things that I own and so I anticipate that the file may become extremely large. I'm running debian on an Intel 486 with 16mg RAM. I worried that if I don't get a good program that can handle a large file I may run into memory problems. This may not be a problem since when I installed debian I made a 64mg swap partition. I'm not sure.
Can anyone suggest a program, preferably one that does not run on X? I just want a plain text based app that gracefully deals with low memory. Thanks in advance M.Henry
