REALbasic is a modern, object-oriented language that shares a few keywords and the philosophy of BASIC but nothing else. It has not interpreter. It compiles to machine code for PowerPC and x86, creates native binaries and uses native controls.

From my understanding REALBasic is a dialect that is based on old-school BASIC mixed with some Visual Basic 6.0 (and prior) but not directly compatible with either.

For .NET development I really enjoy MonoDevelop which supports most everything for C# and is getting better with VB.NET too. The only thing it currently lacks is the visual designer for Windows.Forms but this too will be fixed soon with http://www.mono-project.com/WinForms_Designer

For that Linux application to replace Visual Studio, give REALbasic a try. Personal, Professional and Studio editions, cross-platform development and runs natively under Linux. What more could you want?

Not free, but there is a free trial version. I tried a much earlier version and it is very much like Visual Basic 6. I can only imagine where they have gone since then.

I decided on Kubuntu for two reasons: I wanted something based on Debian, because that’s where my only experience lies, and I’ve had numerous problems getting Compiz to run without problems on Gnome. So far, everything is going really well, except that something that I keep doing during setup is ruining my config files and causing desktop-plasma to crash on bootup. Otherwise, it’s going well, and I’ll figure it out yet.

Ubuntu better than Debian? Ubuntu is Debian. Well… Debian plus some bells and whistles. I guess I’m probably biased though since I’ve used Debian for the past three and a half years without incident on 2 desktops and 3 laptops… Also the fact that I was able to convert my girlfriend from Vista to Debian and she’s still extremely happy with it a year later makes me think Debian must not be too hard. ( She’s in political science by the way, so don’t think she has any exceptional amount of computer ability)

But I I’d rather hear you straying to ubuntu than something like Suse or Redhat. And its definitely better than going back to Windows.

So, cheers! glad you made the jump.

I kind of wish you had tried Ubuntu before Kubuntu. I mean Tyler and I seem to have had mostly success with KDE, but everyone else on this site – yourself included – has been met with varying degrees of failure. Then you could see how much better Ubuntu really is than Debian.
