I recently received Kylix Desktop Developer for Linux, and installed it on SuSE 7.2.
Gotta say - this package rocks my sox off :-)
I went to the Linux Expo in London yesterday and saw a couple of Borland demos. Kylix looks the absolute business. The guy produced a text editor in minutes using drag and drop of widgets. Software development purists might not like visual development tools, but s**t, they are incredibly powerful for what they are good at. Better yet, the free version of Kylix (for GPLed application development only IIRC) should be downloadable in a couple of weeks. Just a shame the prices for JBuilder5, which I could really use, are prohibitively expensive at the moment.
