Linux does not have direct support for mdb as far as I am aware. Under Linux, you would need to either locate a an access driver for odbc or use something like Jackcess in Java middle-ware to access the db. There are other possibilities such as running MSSQL on a windows machine and remotely connecting to the dbms. If it must be local you are best off converting the db to something like MySQL or Postgress. There are tools for converting from Access to other dbms' and there are some commercial drivers for *nix systems. Another possibility is to export your Access db to cvs format and import it into Open Office, then connect to it via open office.
One solution I have not tried nor have I found any info on is possibly running Access on WINE and connecting to it. But you might want to look in to it. Could be a dead end though. The best solutions however are either run a remote dbms to serve you mdb database or convert it to a *nix supported dbms.
