What question are you trying to answer? Where to develop? Where to
deploy? What runtime environment to use? If you're looking to write
Visual Basic, Linux isn't really an option and you're not writing to the
right mailing list anyway.
If you're looking to deploy on Linux, there are robust Java environments
available today, including the Sun JDK1.1 port from Blackdown.
If you're looking to develop on Linux, there are IDE and non-IDE
environments available. If none of them fills the bill, you may have to
look to NT for a development environment... you can still deploy on
Linux afterward.
