Mail Merge

[Paul Rescino]

I have a client who is using Microsoft Access and Word to do a mail merge to create one email per name. They want to convert to Linux. I have been told MySQL owuld handle this. What will I need on the Linux computer? Server or client? Hardware requirements? What word processing program? It needs to merge to email. I prefer to use Suse or Novell (based on Suse) linux.

Any suggestions. Please help me. I am new to MySQL and need to get this done soon.

Thanks,
Paul
