The free clone of VB is Real Basic, not 100% the same but very similar. You could always try the Mono version of VB.NET. The clone of Delphi is Free Pascal and I am not sure if that is 100% compatible either.

I wouldn't be surprized if BradSnobar were talking about Gambas (http://gambas.sourceforge.net/) and not Real Basic. Free Pascal is probably compatible with Object Pascal to a certain degree, but I doubt it implements all of Delphi (the VCL, DB connectivity, etc).
You could get yourself a copy of Codeforge(www.codeforge.com). At the moment there in no 64Bit Version but the 32Bit Verison runs perfectly on my AMD64 (running Ubuntu Hoary/Breezy), and their support is excellent. I paid just 25 Euro (Student Version) for the IDE which supports more than 20 Languages, SVN, CVS, CodeCompletion and so on.
