Kylix is a program like Visual Basic 6.  Borland Inprise will publish it for 
Linux in an attempt to offer an alternative to Visual Basic.

hmm i've been wondering about too...

there are some other nice languages (with lots of documentation) out there
that are fairly easy to program in and you can make GUIs.

right now im learning python.

Hi, The Kylix is the Delphi (Object Oriented Pascal language) version for 
linux. In several days you will be able to download a free version.
You can find several Kylix info in the following sites:

http://www.delphi4linux.org/
http://www.drbob42.com/kylix/
http://www.borland.com/kylix/

May be you must probe with the Kdeveloper package (I think) (C++ for linux)
Good luck!

You can find more about it at www.Borland.com.  The open version is due out 
the middle part of this year which would be free to download.  Otherwise you 
can pay $500.00 to $1000.00 for the other kind of version.  I would rather 
wait till the open version comes out.
