What database tool to use on Linux to read an as/400 database?

From Linux (Red Hat dist), we need to read an AS400 database. We have the ODBC driver to connect, what's the best query tool?

Kexi calls itself "Microsoft Access for Linux", and it's pretty good, but the ODBC driver isn't quite there yet.

A similar program is OpenOffice.org BASE. IMO, Kexi is a better overall product, but Base has an ODBC driver.

Lighter-weight graphical tools for databases with ODBC drivers include Datakiosk and Tora (which, despite its name, works with more than just Oracle).

What's "best"? Depends on your tastes and your needs. This is by no means an all-inclusive list.
