I will let Brian advise you on where to start, he hasn't mislead me yet <g> > If this goes well... I should have Kylix in a year and start porting > Calmira :) I also am thinking about getting Kylix, not sure if you know but the Delphi-Talk list at elists.org also has a Kylix list and all is fairly slow right now but I am lurking around to see what others say <g> There will be a free version of CLX released in MID 2001 and they post all news, events and release dates etc there... Sounds to me like the free version will not be as powerful but I am still going to check it out before buying Kylix since they are charging so much for it <g> I have not seen it yet but I am sure over time Kylix will be seen on ebay and you may find it cheaper there, I know I bought D4 from there still shrink-wrapped for relatively cheap. Depending on the popularity of the Idea of having calmira ported to Linux maybe Calmira.org could have some sort of fund raiser to help you get Kylix seeing as they charge like around $1000.00 I believe with no upgrade breaks and Calmira is a non profit project.
