[TriLUG] Re: .NET development on Linux (was "SuSE")

[matusiak]

Now, I really, *really* don't know what I'm talking about here, so 
please take with a grain of salt (or two), but didn't Miguel de Icaza 
(formerly of Gnome Ximian fame) branch off a project called "Mono" that 
would act like a Linux dev environment for .NET?

This is what I found:  http://www.go-mono.com/

I am quite interested in this topic, despite my gross ignorance.  I 
hope the thread can continue for just a bit longer.  :)
