Well download one, it is free :-)

Has anybody on the list tried the SunStudio support for Linux on x86 and 
its tools support for GCC in addition to Sun CC?  I know the dbx 
debugger to be very good, in many areas it used to be far superior to MS 
VisualStudio's debugger.  The GUI was not as nice as VisualStudio but 
far better than DDD.  Now Sun provide compiler and tools for free if you 
join SDN (also free I think).  GUI is now Net.Beans (free again) which 
looks very nice, I have not tried it.
