POET 2.1 the Cross-Platform Object Database for C++ is 
now avaible on LINUX.

POET  - Persistent Objects & Extended database Technology
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Features -------------------------------
-   True Cross-Platform Support
    POET gives your applications portability at both the source level 
    and database level across Windows,OS/2,Macintosh,NT,UNIX ( Sun,
    HP, AIX, SCO, NeXTSTEP and now LINUX) and NOVELL (NLM)
-   True Heterogenous Environment
    POET provides full binary compatibility between objects in a heterogenous
    environment. For example, POET easily allows Macintosh and UNIX Clients
    to share objects from a NOVELL or UNIX Server. Portability is built in,
    so you can leverage your programming investment across every major platform.
-   Client / Server
    POET Professional Edition has an advanced client/server architecture that
    uses object locking, transactions, and event handling to keep client's
    shared objects concurrent. The POET server reduces network traffic by 
    only sending the requested objects.

    POET is currently used in a variety of application areas. With over
    5000 units installed worldwide, POET is now the best selling ODBMS.
    POET has produced effective applications in the following areas:
