Mono 2.0 and .NET On Linux

Posted by kdawson on from the receding-taillights dept.

Several readers noted the release of Mono 2.0, which is compatible with Microsoft's .NET Framework 2.0. According to Miguel de Icaza, "... users can move over server applications built for .NET and client applications built with Windows Forms." InternetNews points out that only about half of the .NET apps out there will work on Mono 2.0, for a variety of reasons including (but not limited to) legacy Windows-only libraries and Microsoft's progress on .NET 3.0 and 3.5 APIs.

    "A question: Is there a functional IDE for Mono, for us who don't want gnome or even gnome libs on our System?"

    Um, what? You'll get gnome cooties?

    Monodevelop is a good IDE, and I don't think having GTK and related libs installed is going to steal your masculinity or anything.

    Yeah, it's a bitch trying to develop .net apps on my Amiga. I wish developers would stop assuming I'm using a Linux distro with features. Assholes.
