Open source/database software

I'm really a novice when it comes to a lot of things, especially programming issues. What I really want to know is if there is an easy to setup database program that I can use for compiling quotations. I'd like to be able to configure it to search for quotations by subject and author. I'm thinking opensource because of it being free, but any other ideas will be considered. And I don't really know how to set up databases, so it's gotta be easy.

Hi Tedster. Do you know if it's easy for an inexperienced person to use? By the way, it looks like you're serving in Iraq. I appreciate all you do.

Actually, I just went to that page and it says that it has setup instructions for beginners, so I'll definitely give that a try. Thanks.
