There is at least one database frontend for Linux that will make Axcess look rather pale. I'm thinking of Recall from the company. It is not free software but neither is Access.

If you don't need that avanced report and programming capabilities of Recll, Openoffice have some features that you might find useful. E.g. graphical query generator.

There is also a lot of web based frontends that allows you to manage your databases without touching the command line.

And as for Ws_FTP, this function is integrated into the KDE file manager and file dialogs, and so is a winzip equivalent.

And there are CAD programs for Linux both free and commercial but no AutoCAD. If you can change CAD software naturally depends on what you do and if you can import old work. Most Linux cad programs can at least import DXF but CAD is not my business so I really can't tell how good they are.
