What do you mean "access a linux server"?

An Access database can be used as a client, via ODBC, to a server database
located on a Linux server. You need to determine what database you are going
to use -- there are commercial and open source databases than can run on a
Linux server. Two of the most popular are PostgreSQL and MySQL. PostgreSQL
is free, no matter what its use; MySQL is free for non-commercial use but
has a fee for commercial use. There are others, about which I see less
posted in newsgroups.
