By reading over the borland Web site It appears that Kylix - is basically the name Borland has given Delphi for the linux verion of the same software.

Can someone confirm this ?

If thats the case, then It seems to me that I should strongly consider developing my next application in Kylix. / Delphi

Linux is not going away. and every application I seem to be developing today is either web a web app, or client server. What I have been reading about Delphi/Kylix is that it is - or can be used a one killer client application- to whatever backend database you connect to it.

Now I have been able to do much of this with VFP - and for the past year or so, using Mysql with VFP - But the concept of creating true exe files, multi platform clients, and stronger client methods has really got me to think about moving away from vfp for my next series of applications.

I would love to hear anything about learning curve, - Kylix report writer' IDE, language structer, whatever. to help in making up my mind... Does it really work better as a client app than VFP ?
