D - What is neede for linux?

Hi,

I am somewhat insecure what I need to work with D under Linux. The homepage
says,
that the dli package of Burton Radons is the Linux port, but this seem to be
more than one year old. 
So where can I find an actual Linux version and libs? 
What is dmd, what is phobos?

Sorry, if these are stupid questions.

True. Link to DLI should be scrapped from the D intoduction page.

Windows version zip also contains the linux version. Besides it will
want your GCC tools handy.

DMD is DigitalMars D compiler.
Phobos is a (somewhat minimalistic and not fleshed out) standard library 
for D, which is distributed with DMD in the same zip.

Why, these are inconsistencies of documentation.

That shows how well Mr. Bill Gates is doing is job.
What you want to say is that the dmd.zip contains both
versions: windows and linux.
