There is a free equivalent called Gambas that runs on Linux.
You can install say Ubuntu Linux and using Synaptic download
and install Gambas. Its open source, free and works like a dream. It can
hook into databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite and can also
run C programs and scripts that are common in Linux OS
making it extremely powerful. Because you got the source code
you can make anything and turn it into say a liveCD that boots
and runs Linux and your gambas application on the PC.
