[Tfug] Client/Server Linux Application

[keith smith]

I'm assuming ncurses is considered text based.  I'm also assuming ncurses would work for what I am thinking of.
 
I was thinking of creating a simple accounting system.  Given this I'm not sure a web based application using javascript and html would work as good as I'd like.
 
I was thinking it would be nice to create an app using C and ncurses running on Debian and using a data server such as MySql....... with a cient on a win98 desktop.
 
Thanks for your help,
Keith

Yeah, if the user interface is in text.

If you want a GUI app running from the linux side, you'll need an X
server on the windows side. I've heard good things about the cygwin X
server.

You last option is to have a custom server side program and client side
program. Instead of reinventing the wheel, maybe a web based app would
do the trick for you.
