Hi, Duncan!  I'm not sure what you mean by front-end here, but I've
been very pleased with MySQL + phpMyAdmin.  You can download the
phpMyAdmin software from http://www.phpmyadmin.com/.  It is,
unfortunately, not included in either Fedora Core or Fedora Extras at
this time.

Others on the list have suggested PostgreSQL, and while that's a very
valuable suggestion and you certainly can't go wrong with it, keep in
mind that the M in the current LAMP architecture craze means MySQL
(Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl/Python).
