If it is the RADIII, it should run on Linux (I have used it). I even 
thought it was offically supported on RedHat. The version I have came 
with a Linux installer.

I use it on Mac OS X (home adaptation of the envt) with JBuilder6 and 
the source level debugger is quite a treat! It uses the simulator that 
comes with the RAD.

You could have 2 issues:
- default OP key values and key derivation scheme (not sure about this 
one)
- export files for the target you consider (211PK, IS,...) for the 
conversion step (it uses the standard Sun converter though).

Even though you could use RxTX on Linux to communicate with a serial 
card, I prefer to use the OCF bridge (available on linuxnet).
