Running Visual Basic.Net 2008 in Ubuntu 8.10

[Samuel Mukoti]

Mono is indeed a good place to start. Also look at Monodevelop.  You  
probably won't be ably to run Visual Studio on Linux but depending on  
what third party controls you're using, you'll be able to import the  
VB.Net project into Monodevelop and compile it or develop if further  
on Linux/mono it works quite well though from experience, if you're  
really keen on building crossplatform GUI apps on linux, then mono and  
Gtk# is you best bet.  I look at Banshee for inspiration it's amazing  
how mature and productive mono is now.. Just wish the FLOSS community  
didn't hate on Novell.  I believe mono is already a valid and  
productive development platform.

Mono is not wine, so don't expect to use it to run windows apps on  
linux, it's a development platform where you can create native and  
cross platform apps C#, VB.Net, Python, etc..

Give it a go.. You may like it!
