I've got a simple project I'd like to keep track of parts and vendors 
for, which seems like a pretty simplistic setup for a small database.

I'm just looking to keep track of ~100 part numbers, and quotes from 
multiple vendors (with various price-breaks) for those parts.

I could probably hack something together in a few days, but it would be 
more effort than just using old-fashioned paper.  I figure someone else 
has probably had to do this, and could maybe save me some time.

So...does anyone know of something like this I can run on linux?  I 
tried googling and searching freshmeat, but I mainly turned up 
full-blown accounting/erp type packages, which seems like massive 
overkill (ie: setting up the package alone would take longer than doing 
everything on paper), and several of these are non-free (as in speech 
and/or beer).

I could pay some $$$, but so far the non-free (as in beer) programs I've 
found are in the 5 figure + range (ie: real accounting & erp), while my 
budget's more in the 2-3 figure range.
