[RESOLVED] VB6 Linux
I know this is stupid, cause linux is coded in either c++ or assembly, but is is posssible that there is a vb6 version of linux?

No. VB.NET can be compiled and run on linux (any .NET code generally can be). VB6 cannot.Originally Posted by Bobalandi
REALBasic is similar to VB and can be compiled for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Every passing hour brings the Solar System forty-three thousand miles closer to Globular Cluster M13 in Hercules -- and still there are some misfits who insist that there is no such thing as progress.
Even stupider one... Is there a version of linux like ubuntu, etc. made with vb6? Is it even possible?

VB6 heavily relies on Windows to run... so that would only be possible if you had a 'fake' OS which ran inside Windows.

I have ran VB6 from Wine in the past. And let me tell you, it is not pretty!
You're better off getting virtualisation software. If you use your package manager to getand then install Windows on that, once you install the Guest Addons (pipsqueak easy), then you can do this thing where the Windows OS integrates into the Linux desktop:Code:virtualbox
Very good for running any Windows application on Linux (except games I'm guessing)
