There is a database that is supposed to be simple called tora included 
with the distro. I don't know how simple this db is yet.
I just downloaded it and launched it. It initially asks for some 
connection information and things. It has a content help and stuff. I 
believe that you have to have postgresql or something running to provide 
connectivity.

I was hoping for rhdb to make it to the distro ad tried it a long while 
back. This database looked promising, but running on a laptop with only 
a 640 x 480 display made it impossible to get past a certain point.

If you try out tora. I did not know where or if there was a launcher for 
it. I typed tora in a terminal, as a normal user.
