If you already know .net then you might be interested in mono. Of
course, there's java... just remove that ice-tea version you have
installed and install sun-java-sdk, using synaptic to remove/install
packages with. Plus, you have python, ruby on rails, qt, sdk, mysql, all
sorts of tools to work with. Again, fire up synaptic and look under
developer tools. You won't be bored, I can assure you. There's more to
be had than you'll use in your lifetime. :) Ric
