If you want todo some basic programing with linux you could try. http://gambas.sf.net http://hbasic.sf.net or the delphi Part of Borlands free kylix IDE. http://www.borland.com Gambas is very very easy to pick up. And texstar does have a Mandrake package avaliable I think. If not there is a source listed on the website for mandrake packages. It also has some decent doc and tutorials. However it is interpreted so if you want to make simple apps try delphi. All three have the draw your GUI style tools.
