NQC will run under linux. Unfortunately my preferref IDE- bricXCC does
not work under WINE. (It seems to work for everything except the
communication to the brick part).

RIS2.0, as well as any free or relatively cheap (<$20) hardware and
software. I
am not picky about language, as I was playing around with ROBOLAB, NQC, and
leJOS a year ago when I was still running XP.

I have tried to run ROBOLAB 2.9 under Wine with no success, but I am more
than
willing to try again if someone else has had success. For reference, my dev
platform will likely be my Compaq Presario V6000 with 2GB RAM running Ubuntu
8.04 with kernel version (as of this post) 2.6.24-19.

The reason I have suddenly come up with this issue is that, as a moving-away
present, the teacher in charge of the FLL team I used to mentor gave me
roughly
half of their generous collection which, when combined with my own
substantial
kit, presents too great a temptation to leave dormant. Plus, I want to build
a
series of plant-maintainers for my dorm room, to aid in the struggle to stay
sane through >5 months of winter... ;-P
