A Bare-Bones Linux+Mono+GUI Distro?
nimble99 writes "I am a computer software engineer, focused mainly on the Windows platform — but most of my development time is spent in .NET. I would like to move my .NET development to Linux in the form of Mono, in an attempt at building a media-center type of device. All I require, is a base operating system with simple hardware support, Mono, and a window manager that (preferably) does nothing but act as a host for mono applications. Is this available? I dont know a lot about Linux, so I thought I would ask if there is already something like this available. Obviously a 'Mono Operating System' would be the cleanest solution, but a similar thing could be achieved with the barest minimum of Linux distros right?"
I think GP's comment is quite valid. His comment was on the popularity of the framework on the Linux side of the fence, which is pretty much true. Outside of Suse, I'm not sure there's a lot of traction for Mono.
You ideologically blinkered zealots still hold yourselves superior to every other life form on the planet even though this is the best sort of argument you can muster up. If this is what it means to be a geek, I'm burning my card now.
