I have built a number of applications in M$ Access environment, with and without Servers etc.
I now would like to re-build some as Web Applications. I prefer open source environment, and would like some ideas of the best and fastest path to get good results. Have looked at AwareIM, JBoss Eclipse, maybe PHP (Seems a bit deep for me). Of them all I liked the JBoss / Eclipse bundle, although I need to learn a bit about the environment when it comes to build time. Currently running openSUSE and unless I receive a brain transplant, likely to keep running the same ... if M$ will let Novell have enough rope

Anywhoooo any help most appreciated.
