I have no experience with the Lauterbach debugger although when we were looking to buy I obtained a quote for one. While my quote is a few years old the BDI2000 was 1/3 the price. If you are looking to purchase a new debugger then there is not contest. The BDI works on Linux or Windows and I'm yet to discover anything it can't do. Even if you were going to buy a second debugger I would recommend the BDI2000

Kernel debugging works without any problems. User space debugging is also fine - but only if you don't have to debug shared libraries :-( I think the T32 is a very good choice for kernel debugging, especially if you have experience with the GUI and don t need the documentation or online help ;-) If the problems with the shared libs are solved you have _one_ debugger for kernel and applications.
