Well, try downloading XBasic--it is similar to VB (in fact it may be that VB was developed from XB ideas) and it runs on both platforms. There is a mdk rpm for it. It has a dragNdrop builder for grids (their term for widgets) and an html manual drops into /usr/share/doc/xb* with the mdk rpm (not so with their rpm, which does not include the manual). Original materials for it are at www.xbasic.org. Xbasic is much more powerful than VB as you will learn quickly. In fact it is powerful enough that the source code for the compiler is written in xbasic, and it compiles itself in just a few seconds. It will _NOT_ run from console... It requires X. The windows version needs an emulator for X. Glade is also something of interest--not a total Integrated Development environment, but it will build c routines for handling widgets you define in a drag-N-drop environment.
