Actually, d'oh, I just checked the RealBasic page (I haven't read up on
RB in a while). It turns out the new version, 5.5, supports compilation
to OS X, Windows and Linux, and has reasonably good database functionality.

it comes with all
the tools you'll need for all the conversions you can dream of
except svg. and for all the potential systems that are bound to be
encountered in non-net enabled areas.
So whenever you want to look up something in an article, you just
stick in the CD, reboot the computer, write down the information you
want on a bit of paper, and reboot the computer again to get back to
your preferred OS?
FWIW I think a bootable linux+Wikipedia would be *awesome*. But, the
data needs to be accessible from an existing OS as well (and not all of
us are running an x86 machine!) or we get the above scenario of
extremely limited usefulness.
