Not much luck here yet, still nothing fantastic..
Caldera willbe releasing Wordperfect for Linux

: 2. Relational database (like MS Access) with comprehensive 
: query features and report writer/printer.

Theres a few things around, but nothing fantastic

: 3. Spreadsheet with graphing capabilities.

Again, Caldera willbe releasing a pack with a good spreadsheet
package.

: 4. TWAIN driver for Mustek CG-8400 hand scanner, and 
: photo-editing software.

Theres not much Scanning software im afraid

: 5. HTML editor (preferably WYSIWYG, like Hotmetal).

Hotmetal is only available for Solaris, there are
other HTML editors

: 6. Graphics / photo retouching / draw (like Coreldraw or paint 
: shop pro).

There is pbmtools, imagemagik, xpaint and a Coreldram/photoshop clone
