Concerning your original post, Filemaker Pro doesn't exist for linux, only FileMaker Server exist, we also found Optigold, to be one of the least expensive billing packages available (a side benefit), we didn't care about that, it just happened to work out that way, Optigold is head and shoulders above the rest. check http://www.digitalpoint.com/products/isp/compare.html for a comparison, or other options you may prefer.
