Both client and server on linux? I doubt you will find another true RAD
style tool like Delphi/Kylix on Linux. Mono is a bit unknown at this stage
AFAIK. Kylix is only a dead product if no one starts to use it. It is a
risk, but if you use it, and many other people are convinced to use it, then
Borland will continue to develop with it. If not, then it will die.
