I know so little about .Net that I got sucked
into the thinking that it is merely the
current MS technology that I'd need to deal with.

I'm currently taking an online .Net intro course
and see it is WAY more, which means I don't really
care about it any more.

This will be a vanilla Client / Server, with the client
being (most likely) VB, server being Oracle along
with most business logic residing on either Oracle
or some type of intermediate application. I assume
I want a broker in front of Oracle but I'm not quite
sure yet.

Let them do the front end in regular VB.

Check from time to time that it still works on Linux with crossover office. Any problems that prevent that are to be fixed.

There's Linux compatibility and Linux compatibility. If you want quick and dirty, do quick and dirty.

Cheers,
