Nope, it's just been released for Solaris.  D-Trace is more than just
your regular debugger though, it's just some heavy lifting hooks into
Solaris, which will take some time to get into Linux.

If you're looking for a nice graphical debugger, might I suggest DDD?  I
use it all the time and it's great for visualizing structures in memory,
profiling, etc.

FYI for folks on the list, a question like "is XXX available in
YYY?" (where XXX=some program, and YYY=your flavor of
debian/ubutnu/other apt distro) be solved with "apt-get update &&
apt-cache search XXX".  If you're running Debian you can also check out
http://packages.debian.org/
