> And what's the URL to download it?

You can download REALbasic 2006 for Linux from:
http://www.realbasic.com/download/

There is one Linux executable, but we provide it in three different
installer formats as a convenience to our customers.

Novell: This is an installer that should work on most Novell/SUSE
distributions.

Red Hat: This is an installer for Red Hat Enterprise Desktop

TGZ: This is a Linux archive in the TAR file format. Use this if you are
not using a Novell or Red Hat Linux distribution or if one of the first
two installers does not work for you. The tgz is just an archive, not an
installer; it unpackages the files, but does not do all of the nice things
an installer would, like set the correct icon on the REALbasic executable
and put a shortcut in your application menu.

You can read more about the tar file format here:

You might also want to read up on the RPM format, which is what we use for
the first two options:

I've found that the RPMs tend to work better when used from the command
line, rather than the GUI.

When you launch REALbasic for Linux you will be presented with the choice
of either getting a free Standard Edition key or entering the a
Professional Edition key that you have previously purchased.
