Mono is pointless. If you're developing on .NET, use .NET. Mono has
zero compelling applications. After years, its inroads into Unix
consist of a few desktop toys, and those are rightly pilloried for
their ridiculously fat arses. For that sort of thing on Unix, use Java
- the thing that .NET is a cheap knockoff of. Nothing compelling on
the desktop, but in the commercial world Java on Linux owns the
server.
