Is .NET on Linux Finally Ready?
Submitted by srlinuxx on Mon, 10/06/2008 - 18:32.
Microsoft's .NET framework on Linux is getting a big boost today with the official release of Novell's Mono 2.0.
The Mono 2.0 release is Novell's open source implementation of Microsoft's .NET platform. With the latest version, the gap between the two is getting smaller.
Even though Mono 2.0 is compatible with Microsoft's .NET 2.0, it's not in full compliance with the latest .NET releases from Microsoft. The Mono effort is important as it is intended to enable .NET (define) applications to run on Linux.
"We're certainly doing catch up in some areas," Mono project leader Miguel de Icaza told InternetNews.com.
De Icaza noted that what the Mono project has been doing is to actually identify what parts of .NET developers are using.

Commandline and GUI apps in webpages ? Mono javascripts ?
Can mono compete with Eclipse(SOA), webpage operates your computer the client and the servers? Then why bother? dot net packet is now only a part of Docsis packet(file based transmission).
Javascripts can not. PHP is too limiting.
Mono has a long way to go?
