Ok, and which version do they certify for SuSE, the old faithful 7.3? You
can not seriously consider installing that. You create a program for 7.3,
and whom are you going to sell that to? 7.3 is long outdated - it has been
without maintenance since Dec 2003, not less! I could not sell my program
to anybody and be honest about it. :-/

I couldn't even consider programing with Kylix if Borland doesn't get
serious and start supporting current Linux versions and get committed -
much as I liked Delphi time ago.

Pity :-(
