I'm looking for a few GPL/freeware apps for winxp. Here's what I need:

1. A good cd burning app that can handle both cds and dvds.

2. a database app (can be relational or non-relational)

3. a desktop publishing tool (like adobe pagemaker or indesign, but free)

do these things exist in the GPL world, and if so, where can I get them?

Please advise.

[/b]Mysql, Firebird, or SQLite.
I actually used SQLite in a software product at my last job. Its fast, damn fast...

[/b]Scribus or possibly LaTeX...

And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.
