Yup! MySQL, There are a lot of official Visual Studio and .NET plugins for it.

Just Search http://www.mysql.com/

(Its one of the best RDBMS! Adobe, CNET, Wikipedia, Yahoo all use MySQL!)

yes MySQL is the Number One choice after MS SQL. Later you have PostgreSQL. You can also try Firebird which is also free.

Also check this site for connection strings related to those providers.
